Default RE: Got my new bow today!

Um, I don't see it. I think there was a problem w/ the chrono or something.....I don't see a Katera shooting 316 fps, on a 27.5" draw, and 435 grain arrows....That's 6.5 grains per pound, on a bow that's rated 330...You would lose 15 fps + w/ the draw, and you're 100 grains OVER 5 gpp......

I know those Hoyt's, and especially the Katera, are awfully good shooters, but ........Maybe there's something wrong w/ the chrono, or the numbers aren't right somewhere....That's almost 100 pounds of KE, on a bow pulling 67......something isn't adding up here....You sure the arrow doesn't weigh 335? I could see it then possibly.....

That set up should be in the 280's....maybe upper 270's....I'm not calling anyone a liar, the chrono said what it said, but it was wrong. The Katera is rated 330 fps. 30" draw, 350 grain arrow. We're looking at a draw of 2.5" shorter, and an 85 grain heavier arrow.......that adds up to a loss more than 14 fps, is all I'm sayin....
