BowPro is in Alabama for the first leg of the Southern Triple Crown. I have been at the Pro and Semi Pro check stations at the National Triple Crown and have checked hundreds of the Pro's bows. I attended the meeting when the directors changed the rule. The rule was changed so it is clear that you can not get arrow weight AND bow weight exceptions for scale variations. The scales used at each shoot are the official scale at that shoot. The bow is weighed on the official scale and that is the weight used. The arrow is weighed on the official scale and that is the weight used. You can thensubtract 2 poundsfrom the weight of the bow for scale variations. Example, IBO weighs bow at seventy pounds and the arrow weighs 340 theequipmentwould be legal because of the 2 pound bow weight reduction for variations in scales. 68 X 5 = 340. If your arrow weighed 339 grains= DQ.
