Arrow checking.......?

Postby Harley-renard » Sun Jul 24, 2011 10:23 pm

Hello all my question is when people check arrows will they use the persons bow or any random one? The reason I ask is because I just made some arrows for my bow but my bow has a pull of 28-30 and even thou they my pass with my bow I not sure how how they will do with a bow of 35 pull. Just dont want someone getting hurt over my ignorance. Thank

As I'm bowtesting, I try to find bows(s) that pull at or about 35# and use them for arrow hit testing with the permission of the owners. If I'm unable to find one pulling right at 35#, then I try to find the strongest ones to do the hit testing. zmy reasoning is that if the arrows are tested using the most powerful bows on the field, then they will be fine with the rest on the field..

You have to remember that after your arrow is fired, it's just lying on the field, and anyone can pick it up and fire it with THEIR 35# pull bow. And they will, they don't look to see who it belongs to, they just fire it. So yes, they have to pass with a 35# pull bow, if one is available.
