Anyone used this to built an arrow spine tester? Did it work well for that purpose?

My biggest concern for that application would be the shape and width of the quill. The end is rounded and might slip and give you an inaccurate reading. If you can rig it up with a bigger foot, it will definitely work.

yeah it works great, I used it for a science project and it has worked great for almost two hours of straight testing.

This will not do any thing for slope or angles. It will give accurate readings to an object, like a tree or rock. As a former bowhunter, I would figure range to a particular tree, and then just use the correct pin and aim low. It works!

The quiver is fine either way and the arrow rest I points out but we replaced it with a whisker biscuit. That kept the arrow from moving around when drawing back. about the sight pin I can take a pic when I get home.

You could use it for instinctive compound, but i wouldn't. If you "aim" looking down the arrow then it would block the view. I use it on a hoyt spyder and it doesn't bounce up and hit the arrow. I don't think this would work for a longbow or recurve the sting needs to be pulled downward for it to properly work.

I've had mine for about a year so far, and had very minimal problems with it. Actually I'm pretty impressed with it after 50+ projects. However, I doubt that it has the motor strength to carve stone with it. Your best bet would be to speak with Dan at Oliver Machinery, he'll be able to tell you for sure. I'd agree with the statement that it is a hobby machine, not for production.

I would not even consider trusting it for that purpose. I'm sure there are more job specific tools to measure the amount of radiation emitted by an x-ray machine. In a situation of an extreme emergency or disaster I might put it to the "Test". But otherwise I would not attempt it.

I bought these for my son to use in target practice. None have broken unexpectedly...so wood defeats foam I guess :). I'm not sure I would recommend them tho...there was quite a bit of glue on the base of the fletchings that needed to be trimmed for smooth passage off the arrow rest (made his shot pull right until we trimmed it). I'd say about 4 of the 12 arrows had this problem. Also...don't get brown. Big mistake on my part....unless you like spending 30 minutes looking for arrows buried in brush.

Yes it is, In fact I baught another one. because a tree fell on my first one. Bow hunting is what I use it for and it works good.

Yeah, it works well. I have used it for overhead, vertical, and horizontal. So far the only complaint I have is the sensitivity settings. It almost works too fast.

Hi Jan, if you are looking for a device specifically for ab work, this won't be good for you. This inversion table is more important if you are looking to stretch your spine. Mostly designed for releif in back pains. Hope this would answer your question.Amos

I am not a professional archer and do not know the answer to your question. Would recommend you ask Genesis ll, the maker of the arrow, sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.

We bought this detector for our 50 year old 5' 11" son as a gift and I have not used it myself. He used it an awful lot last summer here in the Black Hills and has had a lot of praise for the detector but heard no complaints from him. In order to give you an honest answer, I passed your question along to him. He told me he has had no problem with the length of the detector. I might add, he has back pain often as a result of his regular daily job as an auto technician so I would think it would bother his back if the length of the detector was too short. Hope this helps.

I strongly suggest that you don't buy this piece of junk. I used it for about one hour for an insulation job and it stopped working. It went straight into the garbage. It's chinese made so it's all about look and appearance. You should go with an Arrow product they are much better and components are stronger instead of fake plastic like the Stanley piece of crap.Good luck!

hmm, just went and checked it out. There have been times when I thought it did, and then lots of times where it failed the test. too weird, the butt end has enough to pull a screw across the table, so it does hold itself in the screwdriver, which it doesn't need, it's anchored very well. The working tip that would hold the screw in place also has it but it's so weak it's just about worthless. every once in a while it kinda seemed to attract the screw, but not really, I'd consider it pointless.hope that helps. still a great tool, yeah, I wish it had a stronger tip magnet.

I have used this tool at ton and it works great. It is going to work well on a tree out to about 850 to 900 yds, beyond that you will not get very good readings.

Would it work I think yes. Would it hold up for very long probably not. The regular tip arrows wedge in between the layers I think throwing knives would tear them up.
