RE: question about arrow weight and speed loss
For me to get as much difference as they had I would have to increase another 100 gr of arrow weight on my bow.Even then at 20 yards I would only be 6 fps difference in the amount of speed lost.
That is comparing 657 gr arrow to a 367 grain arrow.I lost 7 fps with the heavy arrow and 13 fps with the light arrow.This was using my ballistic program.
I can't get into it now because of a computer glitch but this was some info I had saved.
I still believe he needs to test it to see if he would lose as much when shot from the same bow.My program shows is does not.Atleast I think all the info was the same on the 2 sheets I had saved.
