And I agree. You loose power stroke, gain set, but its only gping to affect a few fps.
DC:
I think I tried this on one of my bows. Raised and lowered the BH by an inch. It didn't make a measurable difference. That's if I can trust my memory ;D So many of these things work in theory but if there's a plus and minus(like draw weight versus power stroke) you need to know actual data (like how much does one help and how much does the other hurt) or you don't know what the result will be. There's a few things that are only positive, like tip weight. At least as far as I know. The lighter it is the better it is. Until it breaks.
sleek:
Of course, those losses mean nothing if the bow just shoots better at a higher brace.

Don, I havent tried to plot your results as reported, but do you think the limb lightening has more of an effect on the lighter arrows?

Id guess it does, as the bow nears dry fire speed, the tip mass comes more into play than otherwise.
