10、draw a bowfrom brace height to full draw, usually expressed in foot-pounds (joules).3. Significance and Use3.1 This specification will be used to determine a velocityunder standard test conditions for rating an archery bow.4. Test Methods4.1 Force Draw Data:4.1.1 For bows with adjustable draw force,

11、 adjust peak ormaximum draw force to 60 6 1 lb (267 6 1 N). Forconventional bows and bows without let-off, the 60-lb maxi-mum draw force shall be attained or held at 2814-in. (717-mm)DLPP (30-in. (762-mm) ATA) draw length. The center of thevalley of the force-draw curve (lowest force) on compoundbow

12、s shall be located at 2814-in. DLPP, 614 in. (6 mm).4.1.2 For bows with nonadjustable draw force, the drawforce shall fall between 60 and 65 lb (267 and 289 N). Adjustthe rating velocity mathematically to the 60-lb (267-N) level ofdraw force (refer to 4.5.2). Performance of this item is notnecessary

13、 if the bows draw force needs no adjustment.4.1.3 Measure and record the draw force at 1.00-in. (25.4-mm) (or less) increments from brace height to at least 2814 in.(717-mm) DLPP (30-in. (762-mm) ATA) draw length.4.1.4 From the force-draw curve, determine the peak ormaximum draw force and the holdin

14、g force at the standard testdraw length of 2814-in. (717-mm) DLPP (30-in. (762-mm)ATA).4.2 Test Arrows:4.2.1 Select the test arrows of a shaft material, size, andstiffness to match the specified standard test peak draw forceand draw length, and meet the 360-grain (23.33-g) and540-grain (34.99-g) wei

15、ght requirement (60.5 grain (0.03 g).4.2.2 The arrows need not be fletched.4.3 Set up the test bow in the shooting machine.1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F08 on SportsEquipment and Facilities and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee F08.16 onArchery Products.

17、a mechani-cal release. Set the draw length at 2814-in. (717-mm) DLPP (306116-in. (762 6 1.58-mm) ATA).4.3.2 Set the initial chronograph gate at a distance of 36 in.(914 mm) from the pivot point of the bows handle.4.4 Shooting Test:4.4.1 Chronograph a minimum of five shots for each testarrow using th

18、e standard test arrows to obtain a satisfactoryarrow velocity averages. The velocity values of all shots for agiven test arrow must fall within a range of 2 ft/s (0.60 m/s).Photoelectric-type gate or trigger circuits spaced no more than48 in. (1219 mm) apart, are satisfactory for use in conjunctionw
