Here's a good one if you're bored.
My wife and I have shot, in total for 55 years. Lots of experience, both trainers, shoot regular Landesmeisterschaft and Deutschemeisterschaften here in Germany. In Flint, 3D and Fita Target. We set up our own kit. Have done since year dot.
Now.. my wife, she uses the set up bow for target and 3D. However because you can easily trash/lose arrows in 3D we opted for a cheaper arrow.
The arrow for target is an ACE 920, however for the same set up bow, everything the same she has used 1300 spine Aurel Carbon for 3D. Both tune smack on. Bare shaft couldn't be more central at 18/30/70m. Walk back tune perfect. Same string compositions. Podium places very often with both bows. I still cannot understand why the 1300 flies just as straight as the 920s. The weight of each arrow is nearly the same. The ACE being the heaviest arrow. Both arrows the same length. Beiter nocks. Point weights aren't unusual. I believe 90 grains or so. This spine difference has baffled me. How do we get away with that? If someone has experienced the same I'd like to hear from you. And if there is someone clever enough to explain it then please do. Have a good weekend.
