Why would a proper spine be important for flight?

Try this for obfuscation

Deduct One Point for Typo...Answer

Despite the cornfusing typo (as we say in the Midwest) Dale was first in with the answer. The spine of an arrow refers to the stiffness of the arrow shaft. In order to fly straight and true, an arrow must be spined according to the archer's arrow length and the pull weight of the bow. As draw weight and arrow length increase, so must ARROW STIFFNESS. Without proper spining the arrow may not fly true.
