Don't use quickspins outdoors - the finding is that they slow the arrow down quicker so they don't give optimum speed to the longer distances. You can search the threads on here, I'm sure its been discussed several times.
Just get them fletched with Plastifletch or such, and I get my arrows from Aardvark and let them fletch them for me even though I can do my own - as but they make a great job  Their prices are very competitive. |
Thanks Muriel,
Appreciate the advise and would probably start with a dozen, but do appreciate that the spine needs changing when weight changes and possibly draw length.
Good point on the fletches though, I hadn't though about that one but in the first few weeks/months, may be staying on shorter range to get accuracy .... but then again ......... competing will be fun.
Yesterday we had 3" of snow and I thought that the 23rd American at Meriden may be off, but the sunshine came to the rescue and there was a good turnout, so although cold, it was a glorious day to be shooting and I was pleased to see the competition but had to leave early.
Hope you have a good season shooting
