Ok, so I have a PSE typhoon rated at 298 (they say)and I am using a trophy taker drop away rest with a peep site. That is the only things on my string. With the right arrows, do you think I am maybe in the 275-280 range? Just wondering. EJ
You'd be darn lucky to get that. A more realistic velocity would be around 255-260, unless you get down around 4gr/lb and I wouldn't recommend it. Let's face it. The IBO rating on your Typhoon isn't all that great by today's standards.
I agree with Paul. You just set your bow up to get the best shooting you can do with it and live with what speed you get, realizing that for hunting speed is almost a non-issue for shots under 30 yards. More important to have smooth and quiet.
Now, you want a fast bow then you go out shopping and shooting fast bows. That means bows that IBO in the 320-335 range. Then you'll get speed. Of course it will be about double the price of your Typhoon.
