Bow speed question?
Okay two questions for the gurus.
1. What weight arrows are used to establish the IBO speed of a bow?
2. How would you determine approximently how many FPS are lost per gram of arrow weight above the IBO weight?
I don' t want to drive 30 miles to get my bow chronoed, I am lazy!

RE: Bow speed question?
Hey Taz.. I am from the big " Fred" myself... you dont have to go 30 miles to get your boy on the graph.. I am assuming you are talking about going to Manassas!
There is a guy in south Stafford who has one I am pretty sure....I know he sells bows and does custom cresting and tunning and all that stuff so I am pretty sure he said he had a chrono...
Altough I am a fan of the shop in Manassas so I make the drive when I need something!!
Let me know if you would like his name and or number..
