i've measured a lot of bows, and not one of them has ever come in at exactly what the sticker says - never.

So for any model or simulator to be correct, you have to have correct numbers.

RE: What gives with my arrow flight?
2 points.
1. The Iron Mace has a higher IBO than my allegiance. I shoot a 396 gr arrow at 63# at 284 fps w/ a 30# DL. If I shot it at 31.25# it would be over 290 fps. i talk to a guy that has an Iron mace a lot about how the Iron Mace compares to the Allegiance with standard weight arrows and they are close. From that I draw the conclusion that he is shooting with a 29.5" AMO DL.
2.Until he gives the actual DL just use the sticker DL.Even if the sticker is wrong I'd doubt it's off by that much. Definitely not 1.75". And you wouldn't just create a number. With any calculation use use knows as much as possible.
gibblet, even if they are not "exactly" what it says I'd bet that most new bows are pretty close. And even though you'd never admit it you know that you wouldn't just pull some number ...Deleted by CalHunter... to size an arrow. ...Deleted by CalHunter...

And even though you'd never admit it you know that you wouldn't just pull some number out of your rear to size an arrow.If you don't then you are the one that needs to get back on your meds.
