This gauge measures to the nearest 0.1 pounds. The first nine lines of Table 1 list data obtained from the static tests of the Fury at the three levels of peak draw force tested. At 30 inches AMO draw length, the holding forces were 23.9 pounds at 50 pounds peak draw force, 25.3 pounds at 55 pounds, and 26.2 pounds at 60 pounds. The force-draw curves in Figure 1 graphically show the effect of the slightly longer draw lengths. These low values of brace height are a large factor in the very high levels of stored energy achieved by the Fury.
Static hysteresis is a measure of friction in the bow determined under static conditions.
The Fury showed a surprisingly low level of static hysteresis considering the type of bow that it is. Expressed as a percent of stored energy, static-hysteresis levels ranged from 5.74 to 6.12. In general, I have found bows of this type have levels between 4 and 12 percent. Refer to the force-draw curves in a Figure 1 . Observe that all three curves show a bump at the end of the dwell area which, in all cases, establishes the peak draw force.
