Take your bow to a shop and shoot it thru a chrono. If you provide your bow's IBO speed and few other bits of information, I could get a pretty close guess for you (+/- 5fps), but it would be just that, a guess.

Chrono is the only way to go. So many variables are involved you'll never accurately calculate it.

The speed your bow shoots a 350 grain arrow at when it's set at 70 pounds with a 30 inch draw length,It should be on a sticker on the bottom limb i think. Or you could look it up on the net.

You'll need to post your arrow length as well.

Default RE: speed

Those arrows are way overspined at 29" with a 100 gr point in a 50 lb bow.
You will never get good flight and with broadheads will be even worse.
You will either need to go a LOT heavier points (200 gr or more) or drop to 35/55 arrows, leave them longer and still shoot at least 125gr points.
