Yeah, It was just weird feeling a bow do that.
I haven't ever shot an arrow that heavy before and have never experienced a bow actually recoiling.
Actually, with a high enough arrow mass, when releasing the string, the arrow would remain stationary and the only acceleration would be the bow accelerating backwards!
Nope, that couldn't happen. Haven't you been reading this thread?
As the arrow weight increases, the KE of that arrowALWAYS goes up.
Only if the arrow speed DOES NOT drop!!! With my set-up, a 314 IBO bow, based upon a few different calculators should be topping out on KE around 440-460gr arrows. I shoot a 415-420gr arrow mid to high 270's (275-278fps).
