[QUOTE="OkieBowie, post: 1007542, member: 26507"] It is worth it, if you are serious about getting most accuracy out of TAC-15. You can buy arrows that are already Spline tested, marked, and fletched from Aerobolt. [I]Doing it yourself is not easy nor straight forward.[/I] One method is making or buying a spline tester capable of flexing a TAC-15 arrow shaft. That means a spline tester with more than normal pressure or weight to get TAC-15 arrow shaft's to flex. Read as not easy to make or cheap to buy. Another method is experimental. A few of us arrow flingers, have been testing using a clamping system to squeeze an arrow shaft from pointy end to knock end. Pressure is applied till arrow shaft bends. Noting bend direction, pressure is released. Arrow shaft is rotated so bend direction is upward. Process is repeated until arrow shaft is for most part constantly bending upwards. A mark is then made on top of shaft indicating that is weak side of arrow's Spline. Frankly, I would drop the cash on shafts that are already Spline tested and marked. [/QUOTE]
