Anybody ran a bowtech through a chrono yet? Look at my signature and realize I shoot a guardian right now. I just want to know where the bowtechs fall compared to advertised numbers.

Feel free to do the math. A hunt ready (peep, tied in, nock set KNOTS, loop and factory silencers) Bowtech admiral at 29" with a 412 gr arrow at 65#s produced 282fps three times through the chrono. Don't know if it works out to about IBO or BC or not... but its a good speed for a moderate weight arrow at a fairly conservitive draw weight.
I hope someone has the program to get this close cause I am curious. Add 5#, drop 52 grains, and grow the draw an inch, I am betting that gets you real close to IBO.
