Default RE: What is the fastest bow??????

Pat--

Those are all listed ADVERTISED speeds on Hunters' Friend, not actual tested speeds done by an independent testing facility, and I'm willing to bet that many if not most of them will NOT hit those stated speeds at IBO specs (30" 350g arrow, 70lbs) when tested at true AMO drawlengths and by a non-biased independent testing company.

Example--

Fastest BK2 I've ever personally tested ran 342-346fps at 5.25" brace height thru the two chronos we have here.(older model BK2-- new ones won't do it at 5.75" brace through the same chronos tho, about 6fps slower) Screaming bow tho regardless, no doubt! Black Max tested here through the same chronos wasn't even close in stock form, and it ran 328-333fps. Both bows were admittedly nasty to draw,(twins are easier) with super-low brace heights, and both were torquey due to them. The Patriot or the LX for instance both offer a much more stable and shootable platform IMHO, yet still offer decent speeds.

All depends on what you're looking for I guess, but the BK2 is still the fastest bow in the land to date tho at IBO legal setup if reading the chrono is your primary objective.. Good shooting, Pinwheel 12
