That chrono is broke. Thats damn good at 62, now you have my wheels turning.

Jeff If I may what is your draw length?

How hard is that bow to pull back at what letoff?

I am asking because I pulled back Jfergus Hoyt bow at 68lbs and holy Beep that thing almost killed me and the thing weighed a ton.

Unbelievable! I'm shooting about the same draw weight and DL - getting 260 fps. Arrow weight is a little over 400 grains, but still . . . . . . . I'll bet you could get close to 300 fps with my arrows.

If I calculated correct, that is about 79# KE. That is awesome.

Have you checked it with a hunting arrow and if so,what was the weight/speed?

Two things....

I will check the hunting arrow speed, tomorrow.

I will be inquiring about a 50-60# bow for 2009. It's too fast for what I need it for. I may even check into some 50-60# limbs, this year.

Too bad you have to shoot such a light arrow. [&:]

I'd be curious to see what my 434 grain arrows came out of it at.
