Whats Your Arrow Setup?

[Encore 280]

Ok I may not be too bright but I don't think I'm stupid. Just seems to me that 60#'s is 60#'s no matter what the angle is. Some things just confuse me. I took up another half turn on my limbs today and it's just over 60 now. Maybe some day I'll make the 70. Thanks for your input Russ. I appreciate all the help from you pros out there.

sixty pound is sixty pounds , all bows cycle differently though , typically shorter axle short brace height bows that draw heavy earlier in the cycle produce more arrow speed because the poundage though out the cycle is retained longer transferring more energy. that's why two of the same bows at the same poundage at different draw lengths are different speeds .

Ok so I was just outside shooting and I'm thinking "60# draw weight on a bow so what does it matter if the axel distance is 33" or 37", you're still pulling 60#" Right? Ok I'm going back out and shoot some more.

At the same draw length the longer axel to axel generally speaking has a shorter peak force draw curve.  So even though it may still be 60# the distance the arrow travels while being thrust by the full 60# in shorter.  Bow manufacturers are making this less as issue as in years past, but in general this still hold true.

So the angle of the string on a bow with axels farther apart is going to be less and the way I see it (I'm Norwegian) the force will be less than a bow with a shorter distance between axels and more angle on the string meaning more force at let off time. I'm thinking both bows with 28" draw length. This is really going south I think. Sorry guys.

For the most part that is correct.  Though a few inches in A2A difference usually adds up to very little. 

Of course a longer bow like Coach's with his long draw length will have more energy than a 30" bow at 27 inch draw length of the same draw weight.  However, a short draw length bow at 80# may store the same energy in it's force draw curve as a longer draw length bow at 70# giving them the same stored energy and nearly the same speed if arrow weight and system drag are near equal.

Yeah what he said .... length is good !

I used to shoot a 100lbs martin fury so I guess dropping down to a 80 lbs bow makes it feel like butter . Rav its ok if your weak your still a good guy . 

With age comes wisdom.  You'll get there some day
