bowtech speed
 

i have shot a couple bowtechs at the local shop and cant get above 300fps ibo with a 29" draw whats up????

RE: bowtech speed
 

2 big questions for ya
1---what bows were ya shooting?

2---how heavy were the arrows?

RE: bowtech speed
 

How many #'s were the bows set at, what type of bows did you shoot, what were the weights of the arrows, did the bows have a "loaded" string? At IBO (350g arrow and 70 # DW; 30" DL), most of the hard-cam Bowtechs will EASILY eclipse 300 fps, as will many other late-model bows --- that doesn't mean you have to shoot at 300fps+. I would much rather have a smooth, accurate bow shooting at 260fps than one I couldn't hold steady shooting 300fps. A slow hit is better than a fast miss any day;).

blackknight,patriot dually and single cam all @5 grains per pound

RE: bowtech speed
 

I find it very hard to beleive you could not get a Black Knight to do 300 FPS.I have a 2001 BK2 that will do that at 3/4 draw;)

RE: bowtech speed
 

Ummmm don't think so buddy. My '04 single cam Patriot @ 30" 71# 405 grain arrow spits them out a 303 fps all day every day. Might want to have that chronograph checked.

UMMMMMM,MIKE MY CHRONO IS JUST FINE ARE YOU CALLING ME A LIAR????[:@]

RE: bowtech speed
 

You can see below what my Allegiance does. SO I know that Bowtechs will get above your magic 300 fps. And I shot the Blackknight as well, It makes my Allegiance look slow. By the way notice my draw length.

RE: bowtech speed
 

well he might not be but i am, GUARENTEED OVER 300 FPS

RE: bowtech speed
 

This might be one of the funnier threads I have ever seen........:D

Allegiance 317fps 29"/60#/300gr

BK 332fps 29"/70#/350gr

Patriot Dually 318fps 29"/70#/350gr

Patriot Single cam 308fps 29"/70#/350gr

Should I continue?:eek: OR maybe you'd like to see the 30" speeds?;)

RE: bowtech speed
 

I am not a die hard Bowtech shooter but I am trying out the Allegiance this year. It is the first Bowtech I have ever owned and I can't say enough good things about it. I have never had a hunting rig give me speed like this. Here is my specs:

Bowtech Allegiance
28''DL
70#
353gr Redhead CarbonMaxx
loop and peep on the sting
Hush Kit
305fps

RE: bowtech speed
 

Every Bowtech I have owned has shot over 300fps with a 5gr/lb arrow even with my 28" draw lenght.

My 04 Black Knight 60lb 28" 300gr arrow spits them out at 324fps.

I agree with Mike and suggest suggest you get your crono caliberated.

What the heck are you talking about Newman? I was refering to jwbagm's post.

Ohhhh nevermind I see, it referred my reply back to your post. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

RE: bowtech speed
 

Don't sweat it bud.Ias just a little freaked out to hear that someone said that they could not get a black kight over 300 FPS.I get a little carried away sometimes,forgive me;)

RE: bowtech speed
 

I second that:eek:
