DRY FIRE?
I have question. I'm trying to make some IBO arrows and if i would have 60# 26.5 in lightspeeds with a 85 grain tip that would give me about 298 grains. And my question is would 2 grains under 300 be considered dry firing?

First, a "Dry Fire" is firing the bow without any arrow so no you wouldn't be dry firing. Second, bigcountry's right, 2 grains is negligable, you wouldn't notice it.

Im not an expert up I'm pretty sure if your arrow is to light for our poundage, it can have the same effects of a dry fire.

True, but 2 grains under the 5 gpp limit will never hurt any bow. To cause dryfire type damage to a bow you have to be shooting an extremely light arrow.

No but seriously, I agree, EVEN on a budget Bowtech, 2 grains under the 5gpp limit will likely not hurt a thing.
