[QUOTE="Konrad, post: 487795, member: 26549"] Good information and after reading I have more questions than answers. [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]It was my understanding that the radial weave technology was specifically invented to alleviate some manufacturer’s issues of having a stiff spot or side of a shaft (referred to as “spline”) of a carbon composite shaft. I would think that in order to really get a handle on these TAC 15 shafts, one would be required to do static spine testing around the shaft and find the spline (if any). A trip to an archery shop with a tester would be fun and cheaper than buying a tool. This way, you would know for sure whether or not you actually needed to buy one in the future. Then, mark the shaft and then investigate aligning all of the nocks to said mark. Sort the shafts by weight and then the fletching would have to be adjusted accordingly.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Regarding run out on these shafts: All of the information I have been able to uncover says they are indeed + or - .030 inches.
