And uhhhh..... almost 400 grains is now here near close to a dryfire
Bust out the Lincoln logs Arthur is in the house!
Also, I am not gripping, if anyone is it is you with others peoples choice of arrows
No gripe from here because I don't have the problem! LOL
400 grains is closer to a dry fire than 500. That's all I'm sayin'. The more energy you leave in the bow the more problems you're going to have with accessories and increased wear and tear. If the 400 grain arrow leaves the bow at 70 ft lbs of energy and the 500 gn arrow leaves at 72 ft lbs, then you're leaving 2 ft lbs of energy in the bow that could have gone into the arrow. Instead, you left it for the bow to absorb. About like holding a 2 pound weight a foot over your bow and dropping it on the bow with every shot you take.
You and others are griping about your peep sights egging out and I'm posing a question to get some data on a possible reason for it. I was hoping that, even if the whole concept was over your head, it'd at least get close enough to leave enough of a skid mark that you'd understand what I was after. Looks like it was a clean whiff though. [&o]
I fully understood what you were getting at but really it is a moot point. The fact is that the peep sight does not perform as well as it should. There is no reason for me to have to worry about shooting my bow 50 grains above 5gpp and having a peep sight fail. It is not my fault nor my choice of arrows..... It is g5's for the peep failing to with stand normal "abuse".......
So who's head is this really over? Not mine
