Default heavy arrow and some FPS numbers

I put the new string (thanks MeanV2)on a couple of nights ago and got the setup tuned yesterday. Did a little more fine tuning today and then decided to measure the arrow speed. So, for those of you that like heavy arrows and were maybe wondering about speeds associated with them:

605 grain 30" arrow with a 3 feather (4" parabolic)fletch and a 23%FOC
67#DW, 29"DL

I shot 3 arrows each distance
[ul][*]00 yards - 222fps, 223fps, 223fps[*]25 yards - 213fps, 211fps, 212fps[*]35 yards - 208fps, 207fps, 206fps[*]45 yards - 204fps, 202fps, 205fps[/ul]

With 66/67# KE and .59 momentum you should be fine.

A 605 grain arrow (now that's heavy), lol...he's more than fine!
