[QUOTE="OkieBowie, post: 493315, member: 26507"] Now you know why I asked, vs. attempting ! :D If done using something like a Bar-Clamp (screw crank type) to apply pressure (thus limited to a given distance) vs. say balancing 155#s of weight (thus unlimited till it hits the floor) on one end of a shaft. It shouldn't be risky, but not necessarily safe either. To my thinking, a Bar-Clamp would be similar to Hydrostatic testing done on Scuba tanks vs. testing a Scuba tank by pressuring it with Air (destructive and bloody dangerous). Using a Bar-Clamp, once the arrow shaft bends at all, the pressure is relieved, and the clamp ends don't continue closing. [I]Still safety precautions would be warranted, the shaft could spring off sideways.[/I] There is the question if such a method would cause the arrow shaft to bend (flex) as it normally does when shot, or crush. I would give it a try, but currently I don't have a Spine tester, thus a way to compare the two results. If only money grew on trees, [I]or I could spend like the Federal Government. :rolleyes: [/I] BTW: [B]Thanks :) [/B]for all the work you and others have put into the whole TAC-15 Arrow (shaft, fletching, inserts, knocks, glue) testing. From what little I have done, I know it is a time consuming and often a no-progress endeavor. [/QUOTE]
