Default RE: arrow speed

keno,
Guys are actually complimenting you due to length envy!!!

You have to realize that most guys shoot 29" or shorter. Without a D-loop I can shoot 30.5 draw length but prefer to use a D-loop and go 30".The arrow is till smoking when it leaves and when it hits with a 430 gr arrow.

With the increased length you can get speeds out of heavier arrows that other guys have to go real light to reach. Or, they have to crank up the bow too. The difficult part is finding arrows that spine well.

By the way. What arrow and weight of tip are you using? I have some 29.5" long CX Terminal Hunter Camothat weight 519 gr. I might take them to the shop with me this weekend to see what speed I get.

Be happy with your height while you still have it. I was 6'3"+ when I was 20 and due to back problems am now closer to 6'2".[:'(]
