Making arrows

[Shyoldman]

I have shot recurves and compounds for years and have a few dozen arrows left over from those days.
My question is on useing those arrows for crossbows. How do you determine spine? what is too small a diameter? WHERE do you get nocks for standard arrows? Also does anyone use real feathers(I have thousands of them)?

Any help appreciated.

I don,t have a spine tester so just shoot them for groups while trying a different cock feather for grouping an poi an works for me. you should have at least 21/64 an you can get anything you need at Lancaster archery supply on line.not a thing wrong with feathers other than the longer ones seem to be effected more by the wind for me.
