anyone use archers advantage? I tried to build a bow using the IBO. of the GTO. and I have to use 50% let-off to get a estimated IBO speed of 350. will that hurt anything as far as selecting arrow shafts?

I found these numbers posted by Kevin to be very interesting....

For those of you that like me love Kinetic Energy, I was playing around last week and decided to shoot a variety of arrow eights out of a GTO, here are the results.

70# 29" draw
350 gr= 337 fps
400 gr= 318 fps
450 gr= 301 fps
848 gr= 223 fps

70# 30" draw
350 gr= 352 fps
400 gr= 332 fps
450 gr= 313 fps
848 gr= 235 fps

I think these are sufficient for any game most of you hunt.

On the program though does 50% let-off effect spine. I was thinking because of the harder force starting out at 50% instead of 80% may influence the spine of arrows.
Probably not enough to make much difference But still curious
