Wouldn't that void the warranty on the limbs?
Yes


Couldn't he possibly snap an arrow into my arm if I am on the line with him?
That could happen but he is more danger to himself if the arrow lets goupon release he might end up with an arrow through his bow hand.


He also said that as long as you have a string stop, the 5 gpp rule does not apply.
I have never heard such a thing.


I tried to explain to him that my arrows carry more momentum than his because they weigh more, but he wasn't having any of it. What do you guys make of this?
Well I think he is full of it and I don't mean ice cream either:D

I think you answered your final question with this quote;):)

and a total jerk.

I agree with this entire post.
X2!!

In Archery as well as many other things in life you will run across the ignorant know it alls. Although it can be a chore best thing to do is ignore them.;)

Not to hijack the thread Black Stick, but what do you guys do if you in between arrow selection. I'm shooting 27" arrows and 70Lbs, always seems to fall in between for carbon express arrows. I've hunted both 250s and 350s. Any particular insight?

Kelly.

Whenever you have a broad head on the front of an arrow go for the stiffer spine one, it's better to be slightly stiff than slightly weak when it comes to spine.

The guy is obviously just some wannabe speed freak with no sense of tuning.

Cutting the arrow shorter (if cut on both ends front and rear) will improve the straightness of the arrow, but it wont change the overall spine. he has no regard for his or others safety adn is clearly ignorant on correct spine issues. Shooting under 5gpp will void the warranty. with my Victory setup i shoot at 5.01 gpp. I still only get 320fps. i have to cut my arrows long as well to maintain the 5gpp. he should do the same or he is destined to have an arrow in his bow hand and possibly someone elses. just my .02.

i have no idea about the string stop theory and where hes coming from. i cannot think of any physical property change of a string stop that would change the rules.

I can tell you a String Suppressor/Stop in No way, shape, or form does it change the need to shoot 5 grains per pound.

Most hunters would be much better off shooting 6 grains per pound.

He thinks that it takes some of the stress off the limbs and will keep it from blowing up. He wanted to dry fire it to prove it to me. I told him that I'd rather see the limbs attached to his bow instead of in the fishing department.

I agree with Kanga. I prefer to be sure and use the tougher spine than risk it with the lighter arrows. Besides a heavier arrow has more momentum and therefore will get better penetration.

That is exactly why I called you out. I thought this was the case, but I didn't know for sure. That's why I asked. Thanks.
