I was just watching some youtube videos about the subject. Are any of you doing this step to get your arrows to the next level? I shoot GT1535s and have always located my nock in relation to the logo as it usually indicates the best spine, shaft to shaft. I am going to try sort some shafts this way and see what I come up with.

I spine my carbons. Have been for awhile now. Happen to be present when my friend was trying a new spine machine for carbons. I saw how much the different makes of shafts varied in spine from one side to another. Almost as much as woods can with the cheaper shafts.

Years ago I hear of floating your arrows because of the partition of the rap. That's not a musical term.

The big trick is can you shoot well enough for it to matter? Personally, I cannot. Too many SHOOTER related things come in to play. For instance, you short draw an inch, there 2.5lbs. You creep, that's maybe 5lb..
Spine is important, but not as critical as most folks would like to think. The majority of the time it has a LOT more to do with the string puller.

Ditto on the string puller comment and can't shoot well enough to tell the difference. Why must we make a science out of everything? It's supposed to be simple and fun.

It's not worth my time, but some people like tinkering and perfecting their gear. They deserve to have fun too.
When I used to shoot competitive pistol, I liked my guns and ammo to be perfect. That way I knew the results were all on me. Having a perfect setup makes it easier to analyze your form. It eliminates one more variable. - John

Personally, I subscribe to the KISS method of shooting. Not going to attempt to eliminate all equipment variances. Give up “go to” excuses for my inexpert shooting? Ain’t happening!

I sorted my dozen GT1535s to find the point of least oscillation. It took about an hour to do the sorting. I went out today and shot each arrow twice at 40yds. Wow, I can tell a difference. I know its only two shots each arrow. The sound from my bow is reduced. My 12 arrow group had more shots touching one another, including a 4 arrow string within 6cm.( a first for me). There is something to this,cant wait to shoot again. To the above posts I work on form all the time, pulling through the shot and building proper support, I get it. Its steps like this that puts the fruits of my labor in a "gold" basket or brisket take your pick.
