Matt/Pa has a great point. Cam sync is a terrible thing. I shot my 2002 Hoyt MT Sport through a chrono with a 394.4 grain arrow, and all accessories at 244 f.p.s. That is a 65 pound draw at 30" This bow has an IBO speed of a whopping 272 f.p.s.

My friend shot his Browning Tornado with the exact same set-up arrow weight and draw weight wise, except he had one less inch of draw length. He actually had less accessories on his string. His bow shot 239 f.p.s. Now, this was odd to me. His bow has an I.B.O. of 298 f.p.s. That is 26 f.p.s. fast than my bow. My tech guy at the pro-shop didn' t think a single inch of draw length difference would do that, so he checked my friends bow over.

The bow was out of tune, the tiller was off by something like a quarter inch. He didn' t check the cam sync but he said he could feel that it was off. Well, my friend is going to take his bow back whenever he has some free time to get it tuned, and I am guessing that he will gain 20 f.p.s. from that alone.

I know one thing, my BowTech MightyMite is shooting better than I thought. I picked it up today. I have nothing on the string except that single nock. I had the draw length set to 30 inches, and a measured draw weight of 72 pounds. I shot my 31" Beman ICS Hunter 400 (total weight of 394.4 grains) through the chrono today and shot an amazing 309 f.p.s. Not too bad considering a IBO arrow is 44.4 grains lighter. If I was shooting a 350 grain arrow, I am guessing, and this is just a guess, that I would be right at 325 f.p.s.

Another thing that could have gone wrong is something with the chrono. My pro-shop tech guy was shooting his 03 Patriot at 296 f.p.s-298 f.p.s. with it entirely set-up for hunting. The one day I was their, the chrono was reading 271 f.p.s. with the exact same thing. Well, they fixed the chrono and he was shooting right around 298 f.p.s. again.

P.S. Matt/Pa, I don' t know if you got my private message, but stupid me didn' t realize that I had the settings so I couldn' t recieve private messages. E-mail me or Private Message me.
