It IS odd that PSE maintains a 6 grains per pound minimum because Pete Shepley is the original light arrow speed freak.

IBO' s 5 grains per pound rule was an anti-idiot rule, specifically aimed at those that ignored their bow manufacturers' minimum arrow weights and were hurting themselves and others when those bows exploded. I still remember the shock of standing next to a guy on the practice range, shooting a 300 grain arrow from a Pearson Spoiler he said was set at 85 pounds. You ever heard an 85 pound bow being dry fired? Those are the idiots IBO was putting a leash on. At 5 gpp instead of the industry standard 6 gpp, they even still allowed the idiots to go slightly under the industry minimum. All in the world that rule is there for is to keep people from getting hurt.

But, as far as PSE goes, I think it shows good sense. Since Shepley' s a speed freak himself, he knows how people will do their darnedest to snuggle in lighter than warranted minimum. Maybe if he leaves it at 6, not too many will go less than 5.
