Whooops! Anyhow I figure all is not lost since cutting the arrows down from full length (32 inches for the Hunters?) down to 29 inches or so should give me the spine I am after. Or am I wrong about this? Anyone here know?
You are wrong in this. The spine for wood arrows is measured across 26″ centers, so while shortening your arrows will give a relatively stiffer dynamic spine, it won’t get you where you need to be (a stiffer static spine).
The good news is that if you leave them full length they will exchange them.
