    Default Archers Advantage?

    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?
    No ifs and or buts Just maybee.

    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
    No ifs and or buts Just maybee.
