Earlier this year I was getting a new peep site put on and shot it through the chrono, almost fell over. Chrono said 221, I thought it was shooting around 250. About a 7 year old parker e-z draw, love the bow and killed a ton of deer with it. Just was suprised at the speed or lack of. I used the spitfires for years and quit last year, thought I would try something new.
