My crossbow, the Horton Hunter is the top Horton model and it shoots ARROWS at a speed of up to 320 fps. The 82nd and 101st Airborne are advertised at shooting 330-340 fps. Now I'm no math major but I think that compound is shooting a bit faster.
Granted the difference is in KE .. my Hunter has 95 lbs. of KE compared to 70 or so with a compound. But it gets there not faster than a compound and in some cases much slower.
So your comparing a entry level crossbow to top of thier game level compounds? How about coming down to reality and comparing a 255fps PSE to your 320fps horton
How about a Stryker @ 405 FPS vs the Airbornes?
I dont think the crossbows have anything near uniform for speed measurement though ,so advertised speed might be optimistic. Anyone know?
