I have seen some of the arrow speeds people claim to have out of all kinds of bows and alot of these people are saying that there speeds are higher than the ibo's from the manufacturer. keep it real people, speed kills but i'd rather have a slow hit than a fast miss!!!!! mathews legacy 70# 29"draw 510 grain 2315 xx78 ss 100gr point 245fps
That's a big log Drizzu213..
.My bow is shooting 290-295fps with a 375 gr arrow.70#...30" draw Diamond Victory. IBO is 316fps.
When you start deducting add-ons you lose speed quick.According to diamond..My set-up is losing approx...
Arrow weight each3gr over 350gr IBO standard=1fps loss.
..so 25 gr =8.3fps loss
string loop around2fps
peep around 4fps
string silencers around 3fps
rubber tubing around 6fps
316 IBO minus 23.3fps in deduction= 292.7 fps
It drops quickly.
I'm one of these speed freaks ya'll are talking about.This bow is making 70-72 ft lbs.That is more than enough for deer.
