Makes perfect sense - that's the best summation I've seen yet. Thanks Kegan.

I guess I've never been too concerned. I Gap shoot and shoot a very heavy arrow to reduce Gap at usual hunting ranges. 850 grains starting at 165 fps does the trick. I'm good to about 40 yards and after that the arrows turn into mortar rounds.

Sure would like to see some tests. It seems like it would vary some with the length of the power stroke and bow weight. Light weight target bows seem to drop off in a hurry with heavy arrows. A forward riser with  high brace and a long bow with a low brace. It seems like the latter would benefit more with a heavier arrow. They are more efficient with heavier arrows.
Any thought on this? >>>----> Ken
