The question isn't do I have the right spine. It's really are my arrows the correct ones for my bow. There have been a number of criteria suggested for assessing this for recurves. The conventional one is the distance between fletched arrow and bareshaft arrow hits at 30 metres. Distance greater then X then arrows no good - untuneable.

No idea re a longbow. I've heard (Russel French I think) that stiff arrrows should be deliberately selected for longbows.
