Also in draw length differences and In form breaks. Long story short.the chronograph was a super usefull teaching aid in magnifying the benefits, (or lack there of ), of an inconsistant release. effectively shortening my draw cost me 18 fps over the other shooter with MY BOW.!! A lesson quickly learned.and remedied.!!! It also magnified how much changes or breaks in form affected the bows performance.!! Often by 5-10 fps.! I recently opened my stance. Most times 4 of us were within a couple fps of each other, but one shooter.the shortest of all of us.CONSISTANTLY was 8-10 fps FASTER than the rest of us across the chronograph.!! It HAD to be release? He draws 27.5".a few of us draw over 28".! It did not matter which bow.it was everytime.!! And NO, He wasnt and release.!!!! We were ALL surprised by this.!!! Here are the lessons.even though the test arrow remained constant along with the bows, the results varied from shooter to shooter.!!! Sometimes dramitically.!! Our drawlengths were similar, but releases were not.WHAT A DIFFERENCE.!! With most being within 8 fps of each other.! They were : 191fps the the top speed the heaviest bow.the 55# Rose Oak.! Although the arrow was around 8.5 gpp. Weight was around 440 grains which made it a relatively light arrow for the test.! Very surprisingly.many of the bows we tested were amazingly close to each other.with most falling into the 173 fps to the upper 180s. Well, after five of us tried out a bevy of bows, ranging in draw weight from my 43# wing to a 55# Rose Oak recurve.and a dozen other "high performance" longbows and recurves, results were very surprising.not so much by how much or by how little velocity they achieved.but by SOOO much more.!!!! Ill explain.!įirst off.we used the same individual arrow for ALL the testing.a 500# spine Gold Tip cut to 29 1/2". People over the years on here have eluded to what kind of velocites they get out of their longbow or recurve? And the common response on here is "who cares"? Here's and interesting, not overly scientific test performed by four of us at an event over the weekend.
