RE: bow speed, doesn't anyone tell the truth?
 

That's a big log Drizzu213..;).My bow is shooting 290-295fps with a 375 gr arrow.70#...30" draw Diamond Victory. IBO is 316fps.

When you start deducting add-ons you lose speed quick.According to diamond..My set-up is losing approx...

Arrow weight each3gr over 350gr IBO standard=1fps loss.
..so 25 gr =8.3fps loss

string loop around2fps

peep around 4fps

string silencers around 3fps

rubber tubing around 6fps


316 IBO minus 23.3fps in deduction= 292.7 fps

It drops quickly.;)I'm one of these speed freaks ya'll are talking about.This bow is making 70-72 ft lbs.That is more than enough for deer.:)

Yeah with my mathews switchback and a 400 grain arrow 29 in. draw and 70# it shoots oh about 10,000 feet per second:D

No for real though i really dont even know how fast it shoots, probably about 240-260. Some where in there.

New mightymite, 70lbs x 29" draw x 350gr arrow = 290fps

On the string, two brass nocks, hush kit, superball peep.

I had my bow at the range getting ne rest and sites put on.i asked if I could use the chrono to see what kinds of speeds I was getting.I shoot a Hoyt Magnatec at 72 pounds with Gold tip hunters and I was averaging 269 so that is my soeed for my bow.I also use 100 grain thunderheads .The guy at the shop said I have a great bow and the speeds were awesome for it.I was 5fps faster then his Amthews legacy shooting the same arrows and broadheads.
