The spine selection tool offered by Three Rivers Archery is a digital resource designed to assist archers in determining the correct arrow stiffness, or spine, needed for their bow setup. Arrow spine refers to the arrow’s resistance to bending. An example of its use would involve inputting information such as draw weight, draw length, and arrow length into the tool to receive a recommended spine value.
Selecting the appropriate arrow spine is crucial for achieving accurate and consistent arrow flight. An improperly spined arrow will not flex correctly upon release, leading to erratic trajectories and decreased accuracy. The availability of such tools simplifies the process of arrow selection, saving archers time and resources by reducing the need for extensive trial and error. Historically, archers relied on experience and observation to determine correct spine. This online resource represents a modern, data-driven approach to arrow tuning.
