shot my new rapture last night seems slow at 70 lbs it shoots 235 fps with 460 gr xx75 240 fps with carbon tech 260 fps with goldtips (385 gr) all have about 58.5 lbs energy how does this compair to most hunting bows

[Matt/TN]

I got as much as 285-287 out of my Vectrix XL, at 63lbs, 28.75" draw, and a 360gr arrow.

You're just being honest.

i have a 200 dollar fred bear that shoots like 290 or so supposedly but im at 70 pounds

[hunter.50]

checked the poundage when the drawlenght was shortened it dropped the weight down to between 60 and 65 so it is not the 70 i thought it was

My LX shoots 272 with ACC's at 407 grains total weight. That is not guess work that isthrough the graph.

Depends on your draw length, draw length and draw weight are to the biggest factors in speed.

My Trykon shoots 290 at 70 pound draw and 28 inch draw length with 100 grain field tip and 360 grain arrow
