String/Cable Stretch and Bow Speed

[tgridley]

With stretch there will be a longer draw length, lowering of the draw weight and slowing of the arrow.

We have a winner

Well I shoot a single pin sight and as my string started to stretch I noticed that at 30 yards I actually need to shoot for 32 yards to have the same point of impact as before. Therefore it is my belief a string stretching will slow your bow down.
ETA when I got new strings on my last bow my POI was a little higher than it was with stretched strings and cables. Not alot butenough to notice it picked up some speed after getting new strings and cables. This also adds to my opinion.

Seems to me it would slow down and maybe even considerably so. But I'm a nobody and definitely no archery expert.

If you chrono'd a brand new bow and then shot it 5,000 times without touching either the string or cable and then chrono'd it again, which test would be faster?

Faster when it was new. Bow's don't get faster on their own. After new strings and tune... yes! Not touching anything? No.

So what's the answer ol wise thumper?

The more you have your bow in your hands the more aura you transmit to the riser and limbs. This aura of the hunter / shooter will liven up the bow and make it shoot faster or slower depending on the mood of the shooter. It's not rocket science guys it is transcendental thoughts that make your bow better, faster and more accurate the more you hold it. Where are you getting all this mechanical stuff from anyway, Gees.

I say little to no difference. Within the 1-3 FPS whether it's new or been shot 5000 times.
