Chronographed 20+ bows today

[KHALVERSON]

i have to agree on the extra draw length
i was shootin mid 60# draw weights at 28.75 draw length and have now adopted the rick welch method and am drawing  30  in
my predator  51# @ 28 so right around 56 # at 30 with a 550 grain arrow just flat out rips an arrow
plus my accuracy is way better
the way i see it is less draw weight + longer draw
= better performance ' more accuracy and less fatigue
just my 2 cents
but it seems like a winning  combination

Dan Quillian once told me that an extra inch of draw length was good for about ten FPS. That was 20 years ago.

Thanks Barry fun reading. One thing has me confused, how do you catch up on a honey-do list?
Good point Kenny. How often do you stand on a line and watch guys shooting, especially heavy bows and see them release an inch or two from their face.

I bought an Easton Digital bow scale. One of the coolest little devices - my spring scale will never see use again.  I put marks at 28" and my draw 26" and check the two.  As others have said, it is very common for specified weight on the bow to be different than actual.  Also, I'd been adding or deducting too much weight change per inch. On some of my bows the change is only 2 pounds per inch (at least going down from 28 to 26 inches).  I'm not interested in the other direction (beyond 28 inches) because I would never overdraw by going past the corner of the mouth with the index finger because I'd lose the ability to uses back motion to initiate the release. Target panic would result.

I shoot the exact Nomad, but with 125 grains and on a 28" arrow.  Interesting to see how individuals can differ.  By the way, CenterRest from NAP.
