The IBO is for International Bowhunters Organization which means that an arrow weighing 5 grain per pound of pull was shot out of a simular bow at that speed. Dont know the other

Take a child hunting,for they are not only our future but also the future of hunting. Roy .

#1 IBO rating on a bow is determined using that particular bow at a 30" draw length, 70lb. draw weight, shooting a 350gr. arrow.

#2 Inside spread is measured on the main beams at their widest point perpindicular to the nose.

What the heck is perpindicular?<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>Measure the widest point of the main beams straight across. You don`t start moving the tape all around to cheat another inch or so.
