I adjust BH to lift the string 1/8 off string groove and tiller at each location. I take draw force measurements from 11" to 31" maxed out in the middle of the bolt and 6 turns out. I use a scale and testing method that limits measurement error to. I set tiller to 1/8th positive when shooting off fingers and even for the machine. I verify that the bow is on plane prior to testing. The Bow is set to Bowyers Brace Height Specs or 1/8th off the string groove. I use 2 different shooting machines specific to tests The machine is set up to align perfectly to each bowĪ 19" Tribute is used for all speed test unless I state otherwise. I leverage a Radar Chronograph for testing as well.Ī shooting machine is set up 3 feet from the chrono LED lights are on each unit to reduce error. 2 are used simultaneously for the standard speed test. I use 2 different Chronographs in the different tests. I test at 9, 10 and 11 GPP for R&D Longbows.Ī RCBS Digital Scale is used to measure arrow weight. 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 Grains of Arrow weight per pound of draw weight for ILF, I test at 10 and 11GPP for ASLs. I perform a sound test with no silencers at 10gpp. I test them without silencers and pending length they weigh 85 grains to 95 grains. My strings do not follow the ATA standard. I have 2 shooting machines and a dedicated tiller board. I calibrate prior to each test.Ĥ Chronographs are used. I will cover this in the test notes.Ģ small digital crane scales are used for Draw Force Curve test and calibration.Ī RCBS digital scale is used for arrow weightģ Decibel Meters are used. īowyer supplied strings are used with ASLs and a few other Bows. All strings were made by the same string maker Champion Bowstrings and they are all of one color, black. Strings used with ILF Limbs and R&D Longbows- 16 strand 8125 endless strings with 9" serving are used unless stated otherwise. The riser has enough clearance to shoot feathers or vanes. I can run a very forgiving off the shelf set up or a flipper rest or with plunger. I have chosen this riser for its flexibility. The metrics I have chosen are designed to represent each bows attributes and identify the tradeoffs within each design.Ī 19" DAS Tribute riser is used for all testing unless noted otherwise. Every bow represents a design made up of compromises chosen by the Bowyer. There are very few absolute good or bad bows. My intent is to provide fact basted, data driven evaluations using repeatable testing methods and equipment. The quality of the data published is my top priority.
