RE: Maximum KE out of short draw length??
Thanks guys.
For starters I will not be buying a new bow any time soon. I have only owned my TRX for 1 year and I have yet to hold/shoot a bow that felt nearly as good to me
I do need to figure out my exact arrow weight. I have it estimated at +/- 320 grains. Which at 250 fps gives me 44lbs KE. That needs to come up. Like I said that is an estimate and I will weigh the arrows to be sure. I also figure by tinkering with my setup I could probably squeeze out up to 275fps but that will most likely be the max.
I am going to experiment this year with various broadheads and see how they fly. If I can get a head like the Steelforce or Magnus to fly perfectly I will use them and see what if any change they make. After all my shot last year did go all the way through to the opposite hide and the damage was impressive upon inspection but the blood trail could have been easily lost if I had not known what to do.
I really think I am close to the power I desire so my goal is to increase my draw weight to what I can handle comfortably and do what else I can to up my speed. This combined with a fixed head, perhaps cut on contact.......should put me where I want to be.
I just don' t want to be one of those guys flailing all over the range trying to pull a bow that is waaaaay to heavy for them and when they release the arrow it sounds like a firecracker going off............My setup is quiet, silky smooth and I can draw it sitting flat on my butt. Hope it stays that way.
