opinions on my set up...

[jacobsladder]

started playing around with some carbons...im shooing a 40# treadway.....the carbons im using with a 175 tip only weigh 375 grains(.628 spine)...the bow is not cut to center and i have a 450 plus fastflight string...the bow is quiet enough, and i shot my best round tonight at the leagues...im shooting between 8-9 grains per pound...I really like this set up..but im a bit concerned on possibly damaging the bow...what are your thoughts?? i'll give treadway a call tomorrow.

8 - 9 gpp shouldnt damage the bow at all. i think it would take alot less than that. I think the general rule for hunting is at least 8 gpp, Im sure you could get away with less than that for targets.

I would say you have nothing to worry about. Your only 25 grains from the magical 10 gpp mark.
  Best of Luck to Ya.

jacobsladder.....back many a moon ago we shot very light arrows for field rounds...112 arrows per round...probably as low as 7 grains per pound at times with no effect on the bow.  With a 40 pound bow you have little concern as long as your tips are made for low stretch strings.

Sounds like you have a great set-up if you're shooting well.  Don't change anything.

Your well over the 8gpp most bowyers set as their warranty mark so you should have no worries.
