<!--T:68-->
−
The material for this chapter was provided by Mark West, owner and operator of [http://www.tagnet.org/westsarchery West's Archery] which was established in 1937 by his grandfather.  Mark has been an archer since 1969 and an instructor since 1973.  He competed in the Olympics in 1972 and was the U.S. National Champion and 3-time California State Champion.  He has travelled the world teaching archery skills and performing in programs with his "Gospel Archery" sharpshooting team.  In 2004 at the Faith on Fire Camporee in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, Mark not only set a Guinness World Record by shooting a single arrow through eleven "handheld" balloons, but he and the West family also taught the Archery honor to over 1000 Pathfinders.

The arrow's resistance to bending classified by hanging a 2lb weight at the center of an arrow resting on two supporting points 26" apart, and measuring the amount of the bend.

"Spine" refers to the weight and flexibility of the shaft and it's relationship to the weight of the bow.

The arrow spine should be matched to the weight of the bow. Spines that are too heavy come out of the bow sluggishly when shot by a light weight bow. Spines that are too weak come out flexing and tweaking as they leave a bow that is too strong.
