My hunting buddy MECHDOC has a mini pro shop in his garage. I stopped by his place to chrono and tinker with my setup for the season. I know what a 403gr setup will do and what f.o.c. I have and what a 428gr setup will do. My bow pulls at 82.2# currently and I have no problem shooting broadheads as accurately as my fieldpoints. Now if he would get a decible meter I'd be totally dialed in
Yeah, I'm that way. I actually do have a decibel meter that I use. I'm only this way with my hobbies for some reason.
Dang it. In addition to the chrono and grain scale, I have an arrow saw, bow scale, press, fletching jig, but
not a decibel meter.
You can actually get one at Radio Shack for around $40. The problem is you have to have a room or find a quite place outside (no wind, birds, etc.) that will give you consistent readings. You also have to isolate the sound of the arrow hitting the target because sometimes it is louder than the bow. There are a lot of variables that go into getting a good reading. I actually have it because of work. I didn't buy it because of archery and don't know that I would recommend it. You can tell more with your ear than you can with the meter anyhow.
