Transcription of STEP 2: Determining Actual Peak Bow Weight
1 HOW TO FIND THE RIGHT SPINE FOR YOUOur Spine selection Charts are a great starting point, BUT it is only a reference point, not guaranteed to be an EXACT match for your bow. Test kits are highly recommended. STEP 1: Find your Arrow Length and Draw Length. The Correct Arrow Length is best determined by drawing back an extra-long arrow (draw check arrow below) to full draw and having someone mark the arrow right in front of the handle. Measure the arrow from the mark to the valley (deepest part) of the nock groove. This is your DRAW Length. For ARROW length we recommend adding 1 or 2 inches to this measurement so your broadhead will not bump the bow shelf.
2 For target archery this is not as important, but be sure to leave enough arrow so it does not come off the inside of the bow shelf. STEP 2: Determining Actual Peak Bow WeightThis is measured at your draw length, not by what the bow has written on it. The reason is a bow will be roughly 2-3# different for every inch +/- the rated draw length. Even if you draw at your bow's rated draw (normally 28") the industry standard allows a bow manufacturer to be 2# from rated bow Weight and still mark/sell at the rated Weight . So your marked 45# @ 28" bow could actually be 47# @ 28". Using an accurate scale, see page 52, draw the string until you hit your draw length and hold.
3 Observe the Weight on the scale. Repeat as you see Your Arrow Length Belly of bow (face side)Back of bow (far side)Mark arrow hereDraw Length1" clearance(minimum)Valley of nock groove Arrow selection ChartOnce you have your Arrow Length and Actual Bow Peak Weight , you are ready to select your correct arrow spine. Find your bow type and bow Weight along with the point Weight you plan to use. Most common is 125 grains. Now move across the chart until you find your arrow length. Note: The 1/2" marks over lap on the chart , if you are on two different spines we highly recommend getting a test kit first. Remember, these are only recommendations, the final decision is up to HELP?
