Could the spine of arrows be reduced by rotating the nock from the traditional alignment?

You may want to elaborate a bit on what arrows and why you're asking.

Referencing wood arrows. The shafts I have are a bit over spinned. Rotating the nock so the wood grain is not perpendicular to the bow string is the theory.

Increase the centershot of the bow, or decrease the number of strands in the bow string, or make the silencers smaller.
Increasing the centershot is the easiest, and safest alternative. Just use the thinnest, hardest piece of leather you can find.
Every 1/16" increase in centershot will increase the dynamic spine of the arrow by about 5lbs..

Stands to reason, though the consistency may suffer...
Got a spine tester?

I don't have a spine tester. I would experiment with an eighth and then a quarter turn of the nock for representative samples.

Theatrically yes but I believe they would be more prone to breaking. The grain of wood arrows should be cross ways of the string. Other than wood shafts it probably wouldn't make any difference. Not sure what you are trying to do. >>>----> Ken

You are then toying with the grain orientation of the wood. That can be a no no. Why do you want to turn the nocks, rather than just decreasing the thickness of the side plate?

Increase your point weight.

If there is any change is spine of a wooden arrow by rotating the nock is will be minimal. The odd shaft that you find much change should be trashed. Do as Frank and Kelly suggested either use a thinner strike plate or heavier point. I disagree with 2Bears, that the arrow is more prone to breaking if the nock is rotated. That is not so.

Before compounds the companies that made arrows didn't worry about grain orientation. With poor quality shafts that have too much grain run out if one should break due to being cracked or whatever it could be hard on ur bow hand. Rotating the shafts isn't going to do what you want tho.
