[:-]Well that was an eye opener for a 70# compound shooter.
I tested all 3 of my bows (I know Chad and Art I was looking for 1, be quiet
)
Arrows:
564gr Beman "Classic" 400's with weight tubes and 140gr tips, 5" r. helical parabolic feathers with crest wraps.
I am drawing to about 29 1/4- 29.5" to front of riser.
Anyway here's what I got through my Pro-Chrono:
(Beaver balls, and one brass nock for tuning)
66' Pearson 709 "Hunter" 50# @28" Brace height= 7 7/8"
180,179,179,181,181 fps
74' Shakespeare "Necedah" 50# @ 28" Brace height = 8 3/4"
177,176,176,176,176 fps
73' Bear "Kodiak Hunter" 50X#(52 actual)Brace height= 7 3/4"
185,184,185,184,186 fps
So it looks like my KE for these bows will range from about 39-42 ft lbs.
(Not used to seeing numbers under 70 ft lbs)
I am sharpening my Magnus Snuffers (Since when did they become Magnus? My old ones are Rothaars?...in fact my first buck was taken with a 125 Rothaar)
Anyway I'm honing up these 150gr nasty suckers to a really nice edge (They sharpen really easy with a file and then stone)
.......if these broadheads aren't the right choice for those numbers somebody speak up before I start flinging them. They fly terrific out of all 3 bows, and I'm officially deadly to 20 yards. (I'll keep it under that though)
I have off all this week and if I tag a buck, the compound will be hung up for the rest of the season and I'll devote my 2 doe tags to the recurves.
