    Default Guess my speed
    I used a formula to guess my speed, and was off by 1 fps. Let's see if anyone else can come this close.

    Bowtech Allegiance- 27.5" draw 70 lbs

    IBO- 325 fps
    at28"- 305 fps
    410 grain arrow
    Peep site
    String loop

    Give an exact number, not between 250-265.
