[QUOTE="OkieBowie, post: 495327, member: 26507"] I did try using a bar-clamp with a screw drive. My initial results were inconclusive. About 7 out of 10 times the Arrow shaft bent in the same direction, regardless of the shaft being rotated on its axis, the bend stayed with the side having fine print. However, 3 out of 10 times, the Arrow shaft bent in a direction about 90 degrees from the side having fine print. I tried the bar-clamp with and without fieldpoint and with and without a knock. It appeared as if a fieldpoint with knock was more consistent. Next time I am going to prep a knock by cutting off the string grips and making the knock pointed. I am also plan to use a different bar-clamp that does not have a pad that wobbles around a ball/socket. If that makes the testing consistent then it will be time to jury-rig a SPINE tester. [/QUOTE]
