Arrow length

<< < (2/3) > >>

Badger:
  Heavier arrows tend to carry better than lighter arrows, heavier arrows require a bit more stored energy that we get from the longer draw. 28" draws have been doing pretty well here lately.

JNystrom:
What if you have 4" of reflex and 24" of draw. Would you have best from both worlds? High energy storage and short arrow. Might as well use a bit heavier arrow if you like.

BowEd:
 I would think so too JNystrom.
Is it possible to compare bows fairly in theory or reality for distance shooting of different poundage all shooting a 10 grain arrow @ 28"?Just like comparing them shooting through a chronograph.

Badger:
  Ed, the distance shoot we are doing at Mojam is not really a scientific comparison of bows. Bows play a large part of the equation in Broadhead shooting, much larger than in regular flight but the archer and the arrow still have an impact. Even the chrono is of little value unless shot from a shooting machine. The flight shoot is a lot more fun though.

BowEd:
I was thinking that maybe the heavier arrows from the heavier bows would have a slight advantage of momentum to carry farther.
Then a lot of the factors affecting distance lie with the arrow and the shooter along with the bows.Sounds like healthy fun to me!!Unless the bows are all shot by the same person.That would be a comparison of bows more so then.
