Tony….
As you know there is a supply problem with graphite and the arrow makers are having more trouble than usual holding the weight tolerances on their product.
Is it possible that you could work an “true” weight per inch or a total weight and length into your program?
I have found a work-around for this but it is cumbersome and requires a calculator for each change in length.
An example would be the Gold Tip series 22 I recently purchased… advertised GPI is 7.3 actual is 7.593 for my 29.0” shaft that is a difference of 8.5 grains…
Thanks...
Which could be significant when trying to reach a speed restriction and maintain a usable draw weight.
