I know there's Stu's calculator but I used to have a link to another interactive one. Don't remember the name. I wanted to share it with someone but that bookmark was on a different computer. Anyone know?

Maybe Rick Barbee’s?

Or 3 rivers. I think they all originated with Stu. >>>----> Ken

I use the 3Rivers version. I could not get the full version to work on my IPad. Someone here I think mentioned it hasn’t been updated in a few years? I don’t see a lot of the newer shafts being marketed on it.

Thanks Jim. I couldn't think of that for nothing.

Rick has the latest and greatest on his site. I have a copy of an older version in Excel. May not be spot on for every carbon out there, but it’s Da Bomb for aluminum, at least. And there are plenty of good carbons still in production.

The version on Rick Barbee's site is nearly the same as the Stu Miller version that I use. I cannot find where I got that version, but I have it saved as an Xcel file. Centershot and string material play a big role and are absent from other calculators.

You have to realize that diferent bows do not fall into alignmet with indicated results. I know that my Max 6 limbs act like they are about 10% heavier than they pull. My Border Covert Hunter acts 15-20% heavier.

But once you find where your bow falls, changing arrows can be correctly calculated.
