The spine of an arrow is not expressed in "weight" - it is the bow's pulling power that is expressed as a weight figure. The arrows must suit this weight.
Any bow takes a certain amount of force to draw back to the normal shooting position (usually with the string touching the chin and nose); this force is measured in x number of pounds - my own ash longbow is lighteweight at just 45 pounds draw weight.
In order for the arrows to fly true, they must have a certain amount of flexibility ("spine") to match the draw weight of the bow - if they are too flexible they will shoot off to the right, if too stiff they will go left of the target. This is due to the so-called "archer's paradox" where the arrow first bends itself around the bow handle and then continues to fly straight.
Your arrow should match the draw weight. In your case the "spine" or stiffness will be too much. Assuming the arrow was matched to begin with.
When spine strength is matched to the bow's draw weight, the optimized stiffness of the arrow minimizes arrow flex during flight. This reduces the oscillation of the arrow in the air and improves accuracy by ensuring that the arrow flies straighter towards the target.
To measure an arrow accurately for optimal performance in archery, you need to consider the arrow's length, weight, spine stiffness, and tip weight. These factors affect the arrow's flight and impact on the target. Using a measuring tape, scale, and spine tester can help ensure the arrow is the right fit for your bow and shooting style.

Another term for an arrow's resistance to bending is "arrow spine." Arrow spine refers to the stiffness of the arrow shaft, which affects how it flexes when shot from a bow.
To measure an arrow accurately for archery, use a measuring tape to determine the length of the arrow from the nock (where the string is placed) to the tip of the arrowhead. Additionally, ensure the arrow spine (flexibility) matches the draw weight of your bow for optimal accuracy.
To accurately measure arrows for consistent performance in archery, use a spine tester to determine the stiffness of the arrow shaft, measure the arrow length and weight, and ensure proper arrow straightness. These factors help ensure that arrows are matched to the bow's draw weight and length, leading to more consistent and accurate shots.

The weight of the spine varies depending on an individual's overall body weight. On average, the human spine weighs around 2-4 pounds.
To accurately measure arrows for archery, use a measuring tape to determine the length of the arrow from the nock to the tip of the point. Additionally, consider the spine or stiffness of the arrow shaft, which should match the draw weight of the bow for optimal performance.
The amount of weight a spine can support before breaking varies depending on factors such as individual strength, health, and condition of the spine. In general, the spine can bear loads of about 4-5 times a person's body weight before experiencing damage. However, it is important to avoid putting excessive stress on the spine to prevent injury.
Diet modification would be essentially losing weight to take any undue stress off your lower spine. The excess weight, particularly around the midsection or abdomen places more stress on your lower spine. Especially around the L4/L5 area of the lumbar spine. If you were to lose this weight, it is thought that by reducing this load, there will be less weight bearing stress on this part of the spine.
