    You'd probably be able to throw the bow farther too.......

    Throwing the bow is an advanced technique after scoring 37 greens.

    Am going to put this in here as safety info. Is a slow motion video of a slightly damaged arrow being fired from a compound bow and breaking, same can be done with an arrow that is under spined too much for the bow.

    Nice one, Mike. Here's another cool video demonstrating both the Archer's Paradox and what can happen when using an arrow that's too weak for the bow from which it's being shot.

    ?Defective shaft, spine not a factor. Can't really tell but the rear portion of the shaft seemed too stiff or wasn't bending so the stresses had cause a break before the "wiggle " reached the end.

    I have shaved shafts right down until they were really too light to fly and they still haven't broken.

    That one was damaged, but a comment below said he always checks his arrows but had an arrow break when he changed from a 60lb bow to a 70lb, which I can't see happening, but I'm talking extreme cases such as a 30lb spined arrow in a 70lb bow. Is more a keep in mind thing rather than focusing on a tuned system.

    Extremely cool video dog breath, well done it is!

    Sorry, did you say the shaft was damaged anyway? So what is the video supposed to prove?

    Video I posted was a warning to always 'bend and twist' each arrow before you shoot it, otherwise that could happen.
