Default speed guestimate, please.

My shooting Chrony has a busted lcd display (not saying why). Anybody have an educated guess what a Parker Buckshot set at 54 lbs, 25" draw, shooting 410 grain arrows would clock in at? I'm guessing between 200-210fps.

I think you are about right on the speed. Maybe plus or minus 10fps.

My girl is shooting a challenger at 40#, 25" with 325gr arrows and is shooting right at 200.

The Micro XSC we shot the other day was at 50#, 25" with a 415gr and it went out at 217 (which impressed me).

OnTarget 2 has you listed at 178fps. I believe you will be surprised if you actually put it through a chrony. They list it as being 265fps IBO speed, you are WAY over IBO specs on your arrow weight and are losing an additional 50ish FPS due to draw length as well.

With all that said, it will still kill a deer stone dead if you put one in the boiler room.

There maybe a Bowtech or Martin bow in the near future for me.
