[edit] Article Contradicts Itself

This article is confusing and contradictory. For example:

Less powerful bows require arrows with less spine

and

[more] powerful bows need stiffer arrows, with less spine

Is an arrow with more spine more flexible, or more stiff?

I reckon that less powerful bows need arrows with more spine, as mentioned in the text

...spine (literally, the ability of an arrow to curve - like a spine)

and

...the arrow must be "easier" to flex around the riser of the bow before settling to its path.

Thus if the arrow needs to curve more it needs more spine.

I've edited the text to reflect this properly.
