Dear all,

I want to share this spreadsheet that I created from information gathered from top shooters: Stonebraker, Partlow and Demmer. The sources are episode #8 of the Barebow Project Podcast, Jake Kaminski´s vane vs spinwings youtube episode, goldtip.com FOC calculator and, the websites to the arrows the archers use for GPI information.
In addition, this episode mentions that Claire Xie uses: McKinney 1050 spine, 34 lbs 80-90 grain points, 34lbs. (900 spine were to stiff).

A different podcast mentions Dilliger´s setup, but I don´t have other details to calculate FOC and so on: Victory Archery - VAP1, 500 spine, 140 grain points (apparently 41´ish OTF - bow-international.com)

Hope it helps!
