speed sound about right??

[bdbwtie101]

I am shooting a Bowtech Patriot 2002 model. Im drawing 70 pounds, my draw lenght is 28. I was shooting Carbon Express terminators that weighed 520gr, and now am shooting the maximas at 400gr. My terminators shoot 240fps and the maximas shoot 264. All i have on the string is a loop and a kisser. wondering if this sounds right to you guys. i was hoping it be a bit faster but thanks for your inputs.

I.B.O. speeds are measured using a bow set at 70lbs with a 30" drawlength, using a 350gr arrow, with no kisser or loop (also using a "mechanical archer" for consistency). 264fps doesn't sound out of the question with your set-up. Is the chronograph just a few inches in front of the bow? You should be shooting thru it at point-blank range. Myset-up shoots 271fps.

what is the weight of your arrow?

yea the chrono mounts in the stabilizer hole and is just below the arrow

I'd say your real close. Your bow IBO'd 312 if I'm not mistaking. All thing considered your real close to where you should wind up with a 28" draw & 400 gr. arrow.
My 323 IBO'd bow will shoot a 405gr 272 w/ a 29" draw @ 65#.

you may be gettting a good reading from that chrono, but those kind are known to not work very well.

fufanu,
I never weighed my arrows, but using the calculator on the Gold Tip website they should weigh 389gr.
