RE: Speed - How do you measure it?
Hey Matt,
Your got me part right buddy. I was shooting from the hip for sure! <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> I was at work when I posted that list so ole Budweiser didn't contribute!!....and a good thing for that HUH?!
Len, no offense meant and I understand. I would agree that there are so many variables that its really hard to say 100% about any specific bow manufacturer. Most make just to many bows with to many options that it would probably be a nightmare to try and keep straight anyway.
I am curious though if anyone has found a bow (no names necessary) that has been WAY outa the IBO spec. Like say 20 fps low. I would think that within 10 fps probably is within the statistical error when looking at something like this anyway,...so I wouldn't necessarily knock a bow if it was less than IBO for that amount. BUT...20FPS or greater?!! Part of that difference is probably real!
Another part of my question (question #2)in my origional post got lost. Let me try again.
2. Why is there no information or at least some studies that measure bow "noise" under a controlled set of conditions? Or maybe there is and I've missed it the last 15 years in the magazines I subscribe to? Again,...not from the manufacture,...but from an independent individual just trying to collect some honest facts, then sharing them?? Even from the manufacturer!! Wouldn't that be a great selling point!! For me it would rank at the top of the list in selling points.
