Default Thanks

This thread caused to me to do some research on spine indexing. Really interesting stuff and never really considered it before. I always did a spin test and called it good. I looked at the Ram product but that was $250 USD. Went on Archery Talk DIY section and decided to build my own. Works great and total cost was under $30 (I had the ball hitch already but a cheaper option would be a 2 lb fishing weight). Already identified that over have my arrows have the cock vane on the weak side of the arrow.

That's a great looking setup. Where did you find the gauge and what is it called? Wouldn't mind building one of these.

Gauge was at Princess auto. I have since changed out the drawer rollers for 4 roller-blade bearings. I went to United cycle to buy them and the tech gave me 4 used ones for free. The arrow rolls a lot smother now.
