2、 revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers the testing technique to deter-mine the rating velocities of a compou

3、nd bow.1.2 This specification will provide only a certification ofperformance, that is, the velocities at which a given bow willlaunch arrows of specified weights under standard conditions.1.3 This specification is not intended to provide any engi-neering or structural evaluation of the bow that wou

The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not con

It is the responsibility of the userof this standard to establish

6、appropriate safety and healthpractices and determine the applicability of regulatory limita-tions prior to use.2.

Test shot velocities will then be averagedto determine the ATA Compound Bow Rating Velocity.2.1.5 shooting machinea device, equ

Significance and Use3.1

12、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, adjust peak ormaximum draw force to no more than 70 6 0.5 lb (311.4 62.22 N). The center of the valley of the

13、force-draw curve(lowest force) attained after having passed through the peak ormaximum draw force shall be located at 2814-in. (717.6 mm)DLPP, +14 0 in. (6 mm).4.1.2 Measure and record the draw force at 1.0-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.4.1.3 From the force-draw curve (obtained in 4.1.2), deter-mine the peak or maximum draw force that occurs between thebrace position of the bow and the full draw length of 2814-in.(717-mm) DLPP (30-in. (762-mm) ATA).1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Co

(Refer to example shown in2.1.4).4.2.2 The arrows need not be fletched.4.3 Set up the test bow in the shooting machine.4.3.1 Mount the bow in a shooting machine with a mechani-cal release. Set the draw length at 281
