Advice please



Although a coach,&amp; a part-time long-bow archer (Very part-time ) I need some advice on arrow spine to bow-weight, in fact, any advice on the arrow would be welcome.</p>

I shoot 31inch @ #50 from a 78inch Bickerstaff Yew/Hickory with Fastflight string (Made by Pip himself for the bow) can't remember what the spine is though. I have made my own arrows in the past, so there is no problem there exept spine/weight. String making (Endless loop)I can do, I have to, I own 25 trainer bows &amp; to buy#strings#for them, I'll need a full time job to pay for them The Flemmish I have tried once as an experiment, but it did not work out.Having watched Pip running up a Flemmish string, I gave it another go &amp; it worked out. Trouble is...it was quite some time ago &amp; the memory aint as good as it used to be.I# also need to pass on this advice to other (Wannabe) archers for a course I might be running next year.</p>

Thanks in advance.</p>
