Phat Indoor Spines

[NoAngel]

Last year I started seeing Recurve archers shooting fat aluminium spines (or line cutters) during the indoor season to try and get those extra few points. I am just wondering with the indoor season upon us, how many people are doing this nowadays?

I personally only shoot one arrow spine, the same as I use for the outdoor season, but I am wondering if I need to change?

i`ve voted for 1 set of arrows, my acc`s
but i am toying with the idea of using my Plat Plusses as they are just gathering dust

I will be going over the ally's for the indoor season(compound), more for reasons of cheapness to replace easier to mend etc. Oh and the odd linecutter!

[Tarkwin]

having not long ago invested in 8 plat pluses for this very reason, I'm having second thoughts about it.

Yes, I will gain a few additional points by using fatter arrows, but shooting the same shafts, that is, not changing anything but my sightmark will (probably) help my game - which at this time is quite poor.

I may try them out, see what gain I make and make a decision then.

On a student budget I can't afford to shoot carbons indoors really..... I did for a little while at the end of last season (due to my ally's being too short for me by thend of it) and went very rapidly from 12 carbons to 9.... (which I've survived most of outdoor season on)

Hence big allys (that are about the right spine) as second hand they're relatively cheap and line cutters are nice!

Its virtually impossible to shoot carbons indoors from a compound, they wear out very quickly and are extremely difficult to get out of the boss and then suddenly all you get is pass throughs! I can shoot 3-4 dozen for the price of one set of x-10s and they are more accurate so its a bit of a no brainer, i just set up a bow for them and use my other one for shooting carbons for field.

Navigators outdoors, X7s indoors. My X7s aren't particularly fat, but they're durable and fly very nicely.

As I'm still at 60 yards and under for outdoors, I'm using platinums, and will use them indoors too, which helps as I'll not need to retune, hopefully!

As that time nears I'm not so sure. I previously used different arrows, but now I don't know if there is more benefit in keeping the same set-up.
I do have a 'spare' riser - maybe it would be better to set that up for indoors only?

I will shortly be shopping for some X7 or XX75's for indoors. This is cheaper than damaging more of my ACC's indoors since I am starting to run out of them.
