I've heard about tradbows that will shoot (10 gr per pound) arrows at or over 200 fps, but have never witnessed anything close. Has anyone here ever actually seen this in real life, or is it a wives tale??

221fps.He was shooting full length 2219's with 125 grain points on them.( He was also drawing it about 31".)I don't know if they where io grians per # or not,but it sure was fast. His recurve & ACC's shoots about 245/250 fps.
