To save yourself some grief I can tell you, right now, how fast that 285 grain arrow will go out of your bow.
375-385 fps.
There, now you know and you don't have to break your bow to find out.
Alright, you guys have convinced me that it's a bad idea. Thanks BigBulls for giving me those figures. I don't know how you got them, but they are very impressive and exactly what I wanted to know. 375 FPS would be amazing. Someday that may be the norm, but why would you need it every shot? You wouldn't. I a guy that likes to test stuff out (science mind, I guess). I am not going to try this one though. With everyone telling me no, and no one saying yes, it's gotta be bad. I give up. I'm sticking with what I already have, which isn't ad at all.
Now that I have drug this out for this long, I have to ask a new question. What arrow mass would achieve maximum momentum (Momentum=Mass•Velocity)?
