Umm... I can imagine the resistance on that bow to be like 5 lbs... Maybe less... If that's the case, then the power's going to be expended WAY faster because there's WAY less of it in comparison to an every day bow. Not to mention you're contending with giving all of the arrows the correct trajectory and nocking three arrows securely at the same time.

There are other factors that are affecting your experiment. If you're talking about sheer force behind the three, in a perfect closed system, they would all have the same. That was your initial question. That's the question we're answering.
