LMAO I obsessively learn about my hobbies to the point of insanity so.... Say, wanna know WHY steel reacts to heat violently at 2000 degrees sustained?! lmao

nidhoggr, isn't the sweet spot something to be worked out for each particular bow limb? its my understanding that a warbow compared to a compound, compared to a target bow might not all be the same?

I more meant it's the "ideal" sweet spot for the arrow GPI vs bow poundage. My longbow prefers 13 gpi, while my recurve fires 10gpi like a ballistic missile and doesn't like much heavier. 10gpi is the industry standard and go to starting point.

Basically: too heavy for the bow and you won't get enough speed or distance, too light and too much speed but not enough kinetic energy. 10 GPP falls right in line with the "best of both worlds" in most cases.
Sort of like Goldilocks "This arrow is too heavy, this arrow is too light, this arrow is juuuuuust right".

GPI?
