arrow grain rule
 

i am new to 3-d shooting and would like know if you shot a bow over 280
fps all that matters is your arrow is heavier than what 5 grains per pound
equals?

thank you for the help.

RE: arrow grain rule
 

navdv1 - If you're shooting over 280 FPS, then your arrow needs to weigh at least 5 grains . . . . . I copied this from the rule book:


" 5 grains per pound or 280 FPS (shooters choice)

Shooter’s arrows must weigh at least five grains per pound of shooting weight. Shooting weight is defined as the peak draw weight (maximum draw weight or thrust weight, which ever is greater) that is obtained within the maximum draw cycle. Shooters will be allowed 5 grains for scale differences. Shooters at the maximum end of a weight allowed for a class will be allowed two pounds for scale variation, but arrow weight must follow bow weight. Equipment will be checked at random.

The five grains per pound limit will not apply if the shooters bow and arrow combination generates less than 280 FPS of arrow speed. If the arrow speed is higher than 280 FPS the shooters equipment will be subject to the 5 grains per pound limitation. Shooters will be allowed a 3% grace for chronograph differential. When a shooter is asked to have his or herequipment checked they will be required to choose which way they would like it checked. One way or the other, not both. "

Have fun and good luck!!
