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??
<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica' size=2 id=quote> Vic, Thanks for the fine words, but I'm not sure I'm worthy. What I was trying to post earlier was that, I have seen Sammy Blakemon shoot my 21ft. century longbow (70#@27&quot 221fps.He was shooting full length 2219's with 125 grain points on them.( He was also drawing it about 31&quot;.)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.
