ARCH - Interesting

[Dewart, Charles R. --G3 Contractor (Anteon Corp)]

That is correct.  However, that's not what the book as it is cuurently
written is saying.  It's saying from the srting at rest to it's firing
position.  Plus having 30 lbs at 28 inch draw.  What I'm saying here is by
definition our bows are TOO STRONG, which we know they aren't.

Let's do the math here.  1st with 28 inch shafts you're only going to be
able to get, depending on you bow, 20 to 22 inches of "draw". At 20 inch of
draw you should only have 5/7 of 30lbs.  That's about 22 lbs!!!!

Believe me, I know what it's suspose to be.  However, that's not what the
book currently says.

I have always viewed the length of the shaft on a combat arrow to be the
distance from the cut in the nock to the back of the head.  IOW, the shaft
length of 28" is to be measured on the finished arrow not on the raw shaft
before construction.
