im making some tapered arrows for my 45 lb recurve what spined arrows should i use to taper because i know i will lose some spine when i taper them thanks
you only lose 2/3 pound, so i wouldn't worry use the same ones that work for you now, IMO
When I made custom arrows I spcialized in tapered shafts and did them myself. I never lost more than 2# on any shaft and more typically it was closer to 1#...that was with a 10" taper. If you barrel taper them then you may lose in the vivinity of 5# or more so in that case you need to be working with arrows that are one spine stiffer than you typically shoot.
what is the benefit of a barrel taper thanks for the ansers on my other questions guys
The biggest advantage is cutting down on physical arrow weight. This can really help when shooting a light bow.
