Default RE: ? about calculating KE and TRUE FPS

OK I did some calculations for you. Bear in mind there are some assumptions being made here.

1st look HERE to see the GPI on your arrows.

1) I assumed your are using XX78 Super Slams

2) I assumed a 29" finished arrow length.

3) I used -5 fps for your Ultra Nok 2 since I am not familiar with that nock.

4) I assumed 4" vanes for weight on your arrows.

5) Since Easton does not state whether or not you have to add component weights to the XX78 or not I did a little guessing based off of the charts for ACC's and fudged a little. This will give you the lowest number instead of misleading you into thinking you have higher speed & KE than you really might. If you know the actual weight of your arrow, I can get more accurate.

Anyway, I come up with 240 fps and about 64# of KE. I hope this helps you out.
