short draw chrono results

  Brad, my group used to meet in Pasadena once a month. One of the guys in our group seldom tillered his bows beyond about 21" yet they were singing arrows as fast as the longer draw bows. The only thing that could explain that is #1 force draw curve goes down with set and hysteresis goes up. They start dropping off rapidly once set starts happening, even small amounts of set. The one I just finished the other day I can't draw because I haven't shot in a few years. But I did test the force draw curve and I know the approx efficiency of the short bows. I am pretty sure it will shoot in the 170's.

   No, my shoulder is out, and I can't draw hardly anything. If I spend a few days tugging on bows I should be able to get it working again.

Brad... would loved to have met Tim Baker, and Jim Hamm. When you get old ,and haven't shot for a while the short bows can be plain nasty to pull, and shoot accurate if they are heavy draw bows. At my age I am having fun shooting 64 inch target bows at 35lbs. 25 inch draw indoors at 20 meters. Cherish your youth guys . It leaves you faster than you can imagine.
