Hi Mike
The only way to know what a bow's shooting weight is to weigh it on a scale. When you pull the bow down the maxium weight on the scale is the bow's maxium weight as the rule says. The weight sticker on a bow means nothing. The weight the bow CAN be cranked up too means nothing. What it weighed last week means nothing. The maxium weight pulled when checking on the official scale is the official maxium weight of the bow. Same with the arrow. You check it at a shoot and that is the official weight of the arrow. If you have 5 grains of arrow weight for each pound of bow weight that was just weighed the equipment is legal. Rule B 2 allows for 2 pound of scale variance. Example: You weigh an arrow and it weighs 300 grains. The scale weighs the bow at 62 pounds. This would be legalequipment. If the bow weighed at 62.01 pounds the equipment would be illegal and the person would be disqualified.I hope this is clear. Pete
