Title: Finding weak side
Post by: Barrage on March 19, 2010, 04:54:26 pm
Ok, searched and searched but can't find it again...

I think Mullet had mentioned a quick and fast way to find the stiff/weak side of bamboo arrows.  Something like spinning the arrow while bending, arrow wants to go to weak(?) side...

So if anyone remembers where that was or knows the method off hand, I would appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction.  Just wanted to reread it...

Thanks

 Yep, what I do is lean one end on a small stool or coffee table and the other on the floor. I apply just enough pressure in the middle with the palm of my hand, enough to make it bend a little. Then slowly roll it with your hand. When it gets to the stiff side it will roll or flip over real quick. Just mark that side and you have the side to put against your bow rest or handle.

Great, thanks Eddie.  That's what I remembered but just wanted to double check and I couldn't find it with the search.
