Thin goat,,.or deer,,.I have shot through chrono with no reduction in performance,..I was shooting by hand,,.so not as exact as your machine,...

I took 370 grains off the bow from lever splices out. Used the same 400 gr arrow and 26" draw. Gained 2 fps, up to 163. So I tried a 300 gr arrow, same 26" and got 185. I can take more weight off tomorrow but I've been through this before, you have to take an awful lot off the tips to make any dif.
bradsmith2010:
Well 370 grain arrow should be 170,,,175...?
DC:
What I'm comparing it with is my daily shooter. Probably got 1500-200 shots. At 26" a 400 grain arrow is 175fps. a 300 gr arrow is 192fps. at 28" the 400 is 190fps and the 300 is 210fps The new bow is 26",400gr,163fps. 10 fps slower. Oh that's not quite a dismal as I was thinking. That's cheered me up a bit. I'll see what happens tomorrow. I can actually get some more working limb to make 28 in safer. Maybe, just maybe ;D

Why not to sinew back this bow :)?
