You should do a thread on that!
Nothing clears a troubled mind like shooting a bow.

Well, got around to straightening and spine testing some of these. Here's the results so far. If they spine under 35, I throw em out. Under 35 and defects 8, 35-40 13, 40-44, 12, 45-49 7, 50-56 3. So out of the 41 I straightened, I have about 22 usable for my bow weight, 13 for the kids and 8 trashed. Not too bad.
