Default Bow & Arrow Speed

Does Anyone Have An Idea How Much Aluminum Nock Devices Or Aluminum Loops Effect Arrow Speed? How About Peeps or String Silencers? I Know It Obviously Depends On The Weight Of The Device But Has Are There Any Rules Of Thumb? Thanks Again

I have heard that the aluminum loops take about 10 fps off, peep sites take about 10 fps off with the rubber tube and 4 for the standard peep, and cat whiskers silencers take off about 15 fps.

I Wonder If There Is Much Difference Between A Standard String Loop And Aluminum Loop? Sims Claims Their String Leaches Have Little Or No Effect. However, I Find That Hard To Believe.

Sorry, I forgot to add that the standard loop takes off about 2-3 fps. I have also read that the Sims String Leaches have little or no effect. I do not believe they have some effect, but not much at all.

i would say that aluminum loops take off a full 10 fps is a little extreme. i also dont believe my rubber tubbing doesnt take off a full 10 fps. i would say the alum loop would take off about 7 and the peep tubing about 6. sims says their leeches only take off 2-3 fps. i believe this is true, i didnt notice any difference when i put them on my bow.

I know that the rubber tubing takes off a bit more than 6 fps. I also stated that this was what I heard so I'm not 100% sure everything is right, I was just trying to give him the idea.

Hard feelings about what? Oh your post, I didn't read it. I don't even pay attention to you! Just kidding of course.
