Shaft for Experiment
« on: December 11, 2011, 04:35:03 PM »
I am working on an archery project and am looking for suggestions on a test shaft for my device.
IBO states: 30 inch draw, 350 grain arrow and 70 pound draw weight.

My machine will have a 25 inch power stroke and I am calculating efficiencies surpassing that of state-of-the-art compound technology today. The use of an over-draw rest will allow for a shaft length of 27 inches.

It is my belief my design will produce the equivalent thrust as that of a 78 pound draw bow.

Remember the 350 grain max weight, no fletching or vanes required and please, no explosions!
“The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter can not be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles.”

I run 5575 goldtips in my 80lb x force. I shoot it set any where from 76-83lbs maxed with those arrows and have never had any problems. My arrows are 29" with you being a couple inches shorter it will even stiffen them up more. I have also ran the 400 full metal jackets threw it. A couple ideas for ya :tup:

for experimenting i would definitely stick with something very stiff. like a .250 or.300 spine. maybe a gold tip ultralight, or a easton lightspeed, or a carbon express mach 5. all fairly light and stiff. play with point weight and you should get 350 grains.
