Ok, this might be located somewhere here but haven't found
I see some , this will be relating to tubes by the way
all sizes , but let's use 5/16 od tubes here - question being - I see
on some sites where they use tubes with a length of say
10 inches in length and use a 3/4 butterfly draw, and some that
Are using 6 inch in length tubes and drawing to 30" which comes out
to be 500% if I'm not mistaken, so is one giving you better
performance then the other? All tubes being equal
And if so why? Thanks

All other things being equal, a 10 inch tube being drawn to 50 inches will outperform a 6 inch tube drawn to 30 inches. This is because there is more time and distance for acceleration to occur.

This is why butterfly style shooters can achieve amazing speeds with relatively light bands.

Viper, ok seems to make since, it just caught me off guard
because I'm seeing the Slingbows which only draw to the cheek
yet throws the arrow fairly fast, I'm shooting in the neighborhood
of 250 to 300 grains for my ammo and just want to aquire the best
performance possible with out butterfly draw length
Thanks for your time much appreciated
