I have had a look in the Net and I found some articles about home made spine testers (here: http://www.geocities.com/archeryrob/spine_tester.htm.

I think I'll be building one soon (this or next eekend maybe).
In the worst case it will give me SOME idea about the spine, as now I am virtually clueless.

My question is: the simple testers use 26 '' distance between propping points. I know that my arrows are longer (i think 30 '', but can not measure them right now, as I am typing from work). Can I test them on 26'' tester (and use tables to find out the spine) or do I have to change the distance between props to 30'' (or other corresponding to arrow length)?
