How fast does your bow shoot?
My Reflex Superslam is at 244 fps, according to TechnoHunt (Dont you have to add 15 to this or something to get true FPS?)

RE: How fast................
 

I took the kisser button off and replaced my rest (warranty swap... left/right adjustment knob wasn't right) and went through the chrono at 271.

RE: How fast................
 

299

RE: How fast................
 

At 52 pounds, my homemade longbowhas shota 560 gn arrow through a chrony at 166 fps.

RE: How fast................
 

288.

RE: How fast................
 

My '05 PSE Vengeance Hybrid set at 72 lbs with 528 grain Easton XX75 Break-Up 28.75" 2315's and EZE-Crest wraps goes through the crono at 240 FPS.

RE: How fast................
 

My pro 40 dually@ 65# shooting a 350 grain Easton FatBoy is 305 FPS... MyCarbon Express400 Grain was shooting, I think around 295 if I remember correctly. I also have 6 speed bumps on the stings... to slow it down a bit. Gotta love a Bowtech!!!

RE: How fast................
 

wow i have the first bow to shoot over 300 fps second btw i got this off of the web so it may not be entirely correct but it said 310 fps

RE: How fast................
 

is that IBO speed or actual speed? What kind of bow is it?

RE: How fast................
 

Mathews Outback @ 65 lbs. 264 ft/sec

RE: How fast................
 

IBO does that make a difference and it is a martin phantom magnum

RE: How fast................
 

yes it does make a difference.It means your bow is not actually shooting that fast.sorry[&:]

RE: How fast................
 

oh how do you tell how fas tit shoots then from the IBO speed

RE: How fast................
 

Best way is to shoot it through a chronograph.

RE: How fast................
 

You've got to take several things into consideration. How much does your actual draw length vary, plus or minus, from 30"? Longer is faster, shorter is slower. How much does your arrow weight vary from 350 grains? Lighter is faster, heavier is slower. How much does your draw weight vary from 70 pounds? What string accessories - silencers, peep, kisser button, nock sets, string loop - do you have mounted on your string? Each thing you put on the string slows your arrow speed.Do you shoot release or fingers? Fingers release generally gives slower arrow speed.

I used to know how much to add or subtract for all that stuff to get an approximate speed, but I must be coming down with old timer's disease.Can't remember any of it now.[&:]

Even after all that, then you have to wonder if they were completely truthfull when they listed the IBO speed. Some manufacturers aren't.

The only real way to know how fast your bow is shooting is to put an arrow across a chronograph.

RE: How fast................
 

thanks i have to carry it to the shop anyway to get somthin fixed and i might get it cronoed while i am there

RE: How fast................
 

I realize I left the yard and came into arthurs house, LOL, but my horton supermax shoots at 327.

RE: How fast................
 

I shot my Trykon through the chronograph before I brought it home and it was shooting 303 fps. I don't know what it is shooting right now after I have set it up the way I like it!

RE: How fast................
 

310

RE: How fast................
 

My Bowtech Defender set at 61# with a 340 gr. arrow shoots a very consistant 276 fps. and it's scary quiet to boot.

RE: How fast................
 

My Switchback is shooting 275 fps fully riged. Thats not even near the fastest bow out there but the bow is so quiet and shock free that I shot a turkey this year renocked and shot another one out of the group before they realized what was going on. When you can do that with them tuning fork Trycons let me know. :D:D:DJ/K don't bust my danglers.

RE: How fast................
 

289

RE: How fast................
 

Mathews "05 Switchback
29" draw
70# draw weight
28.5" BlackHawk Vapors
Ripcord fall away rest
Sims string leeches
100 grain tip

Averages 288 fps, which I know isn't the fastest but I am very
happy with it.

RE: How fast................
 

PSE Primos
63#
28" draw
Quik Tune 4000 (I think)
Shooting 273 fps

Not the fastest, but quiet, very quiet. SHHH!

RE: How fast................
 

280ish. Dang my 28" draw length! LOL

RE: How fast................
 

Mathews switchback LD
Gold Tip XT Hunter camo 7595 arrows
100 gr muzzys
4 inch vanes
weight=435gr
speed=264fps
Knetic energy=67lb

RE: How fast................
 

Don't worry, my Trykon Xl is pulling out 291 fps, and its defiantely stealing the scores at competition and league, so I won't bust your danglers:D. Now harm done, for I took 2 pigs this year with it, and never had to look to a second shot with either. Whatever you use out there, a 265 fps arrow will do the job as a 290 fps arrow would, that is placed where it needs to be placed, with the right cutting edge, and all that jazz.

RE: How fast................
 

My hunting setup shoots at 275. That iswhere I want it. This same bow shot at 321 IBO. I own a chronograph. BTW it shot 286 for ASA with 2512's.

RE: How fast................
 

my supertec with axis at 72 would shoot 312 fps my ibo is 330 HOYT!
OBIOUS

RE: How fast................
 

I would like to know the advantages of this comments listed above. I keep hearing this over and over and I would like some details. Thanks.


My bow fully loaded with string leaches and22 grain peep with extra serving up stringplus "D" loop chronoed at 284 fps for a 443 grain arrow.

RE: How fast................
 

My darton through a chrony hit high 290's and some 300

RE: How fast................
 

Haven't chrono'd my new Switchback yet but:

1998 PSE FireFlite LC
60# 28"
Easton A/C/C 3-49 3" vanes & 100 grain field tip

264 fps

RE: How fast................
 

Browning Rage One:
476gr Beman ICS 340 camo hunter arrows
266fps

RE: How fast................
 

309fps out of an 05' Allegiance w/ 70lbs @ 29 3/8" and 356 grain pro 22's.

My constitution is slow right now, no idea. 549 grain arrows at 29 3/8" and 51lbs. Probably in the 230's or so. I am sure it will be in the 290's when setup for 3D though.

RE: How fast................
 

270 fps , 28 1/2 " draw.

RE: How fast................
 

Mathews Switchback......chrono 284fps @ 64#'s.
