Chrono Results 2006 Old Glory with 443 Grain Arrow
Just got back from running my 443 grain arrows through the chronograph outside with a 5 mph cross wind. No assumptions on speed with this post, these are the facts straight off the chrono. The speeds are not as high as I was expecting. It is 10-15 fps below what I think it should be. I'm going to the shop to verify that I'm getting a true 70 pounds on draw force.Note: all shots are true readings since I was actually shooting the arrows through the chrono at target impact ranges from 10-60 yards.

That is all I have, I couldn't shoot through the chrono at any further distance without hitting the chrono brackets.[:@]
I posted this here to help others figure out their speeds by making small modifications based off of your equipment. For example: For every 3 grains less of arrow weight add 1 fps to calculate your speed.
