Default Thought it was faster

I decided to get my q2 chronod and the speed was 247 fps. Does this sound right?

67 pounds
440 grain arrow
29 draw
whisker bicuit
ultra-nock XL
cat whisker string silencers

Loose the biscuit, the ultra nock and the cat wiskers. Replace the biscuit with a rest that does not slow down the arrow like a Nap QT4000 drop away. Replace the ultra nock with a string loop and replace the cat wiskers with the NEW string leeches.

I'd bet you will gain 10 to 15 fps and be hovering right around 260.

That is your speed do not listen to the ads they all just blowing smoke.
People are getting new bows just because they think they are fast not so.

You will never hunt with a IBO set up.

Loose the biscuit.
Wait until the WB fan club gets word of you saying this. Maybe then they will get off my A$$. But i doubt it.

Would never get rid of the biscuit, I love it and is VERY accurate.

How true....my IBO rig is a lot shinier than my hunting bow. And usually a little slower too!

Actually, they are about the same speed, the hunting rig is about 5lb. heavier draw, with a heavier arrow.

Rule #1: When you get a bow set up like you want it, and it's shooting good for you, KEEP THE COTTON PICKIN' THING AWAY FROM A CHRONOGRAPH!
