[QUOTE="Konrad, post: 488606, member: 26549"] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]I agree wholeheartedly in believing the manufacturer must have known what they were doing when selecting a completed arrow weight and grains per pound of draw ratio. The lightest ratio allowable I have seen that will not void manufacturer’s warranty is 5 grains per pound of draw weight. Most agree 6, 7 or 8 grains per pound promotes a quieter shoot, less vibration and longer bow life.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]In a “normal” modern compound bow, less arrow weight than 5 gpp and the energy that would have been used in propelling the additional mass of the projectile must be absorbed by the bow’s components (i.e. limbs, riser, cam(s) and axles).
