Default RE: What is your arrow speed???

I am not personally interested in this little arms race going on with the speedsters. From throwing the discus in high school and college, and40 years of fly fishing, my shoulder joint will not take much pulling back a 70 lb. bow. I shoot a 2005 Hoyt Pro Tec set a 55 lbs. My Easton Carbon arrows weigh 393 grains total arrow weight, and are cruising along at just under 250 fps.Not feeling real under-gunned with this bow for what I hunt here in Colorado. In fact, one of the guys in our club is a retired MD in his late 60's. Shoots a 45 lb. compound with arrow speeds probably around 220 fps. Kills everything with this setup. Almost never misses.

Most archers would be better off to not know their actual draw weight or arrow speed, IMO.
