Title: easton bow force mapper & trad bows?
Post by: foudarme on April 20, 2012, 07:33:00 AM
Has anyone ever tried to get the "bow force graph data" with a trad bow & the esaton bow force mapper system?

Does it gives the drawing curve for trad bows?

are the data available for extracting them and putting them in an excel tabler in order to get the DF and DE curves?

thanks fella...

I just looked it up and at $650.00, I think we could get you on target and taking any game for free. $650.00 can get a ton of arrows of all weights to do any hunting job. If your Olympic target shooting than it would be a good investment.JMHO

yes of course...in my country it is even much more expensive while it coasts around 1000usd...but that's for accurate testing for our french trad forum....I was wondering if I could get the datas of the draw force curve...an electronic measure will be always more accurate than a manual with a scale and a draw board wich takes time also...and time is money bro!

I have the Easton Digital scale but didn't buy the Force Mapper with it.  The scale is one of the handiest archery gadget I own.

I use it very often to check draw weights at my draw length (or for my son and friends). It is also enlightening to check to see if he marked draw weight on bows is accurate or not.  Very high quality but also, as has been pointed out, expensive.

Wheels, pullies, and cables were even more simple.

foudarme,

I may be mistaken here but I believe the mapper will work with trad equipment and I think that some of the folks who do testing have used them.  You may want to contact Blacky Shwartz and see if he can give you some more specific details.
