I just wonder whether the current conservatism is any more justified. It stands to reason that if amo and IBO are willing to essentialy stand behind 6 or 5 grains for every modern bow, there is some bow out there that can do 4.9, maybe 3.9.
even the best engines in the world, you redline them every shift, and they will break.

When people first talked about 5 grains everyone said just what is being said now about 3. Indentical arguments, it was consider insane, yatta yatta.
People got tired of seeing blood and gore every time they went to a shoot. People got tired of seeing people with their teeth knocked out by busted risers. People got tired of seeing friends forced to quit archery altogether because of loosing eyes or having nerves in their arms and wrists severed by jagged shards of what used to be glass and carbon limbs.
And now, with ambulance chasing lawyers hiding behind every bush, clubs have to give deep thought to liability concerns. Anyone shooting less than AMO minimum arrow weight recommendations for their draw length, draw weight and bow design will not be welcome at our club.

I saw the whole HCA set-up at the Harrisburg,PA.show,even shot the carbon bow with the Carbon Rev.arrows-30in.draw@70lbs,235gr.totol arrow weight--372fps.Let's put it this way,it was interesting(the speed and such),but am I going to chance blowing up my LX?,not a chance!!Sometimes,speed kills,and I'm not talking about game...Bob

these arrow are working just fine for me . I use them for 3d shoots
I have them set up with a 85g tip & 3" vanes & 3" feathers !/2 dos. of each, arrows are speed pro max. I do use a HCA TSS bow
set a little over 60#s ( my bow at 7029 will shoot 225g arrow at 350fps)
If you don't have a HCA you need to stay to mfg. recommendations
with a 100g tip it is easy to get a 300g arrow to use with a 60# bow & you will be very impressed with that set up
I have a friend shooting a Mathews Legacy ? at 60#s 27.5 " draw shooting gt arrows at 258fps & with the speed pro max arrows it is shooting 289fps both arrow with a 100g tip
(not slamming gt arrows)

I've been shooting alot of HCA bows at extreme speeds & yet to have one problem. (mostly for demonstraions ) people really want to see the bows at these speeds. & the first thing they say is that bow is quiet & 2nd is how fast was that .
I set most of my bow a 60 t0 65# for a very nice shooting set up.
thanks for the concern. the way I look at it, why pull 70#s when you can achieve the same result at 60#s & that is what this arrow will do

Do you realize that you are not legal on any IBO or ASA shoot you go to so you are disqualified before you ever turn in your scorecard.Shoot what you want,I really don't care, but be aware of the rules.
oneidaeagle,I really don't think people are getting on HCA too bad because their problems are a matter of record and fact.They are obviously trying to change their immage.It may or may not be too late but I hope they know what they are doing for the sake of those that choose to shoot those extremely light arrows.

I just go to the local league shoot on the weekends & shoot the hunter class. just to keep up my skills & to have a little fun. I'll have to go out in the shop & see if I can get that arrow to go that slow

The ASA websight is www.asaarchery.com but they have a speed limit of 280 fps in most classes but a 260 fps speed limit for the hunter class.Quess you need to get some serious weight added to your arrows for those kinds of speeds.Do it early so you will learn how to judge yardage because those guys can flat out judge.
Not sure about the IBO web site.Just do a search.There board is on this site.Scroll down in the forum categories. They have a 5 gr /pound rule and if you choose to shoot lighter than that,you have a 280 fps speed limit.You must claim which category before they check you.
