RE: what is slow to you
 

I just chrony'd my 70 lb. UltraTech and it's shooting a 500 gr. arrow at 250 fps. I consider that moderately fast. My longbow shoots the same arrow at 190 which I also consider moderately fast (for a longbow). Now my 3-d rig shoots a 300gr. arrow at 325fps., that's rediculously fast. So I guess my answer to the question would be; it depends.

I think most people would be surprised if they actually shot their bows through a chronograph at how slow they are compared to what you may think they are. Big bulls hit it on the head though; it's all relative.

When it hits the ground it just went to slow.

My old Browning Tornado shot 246 fps. I considered that to be slow. My buddy shot my arrows thru his Matthews and he was shooting 271fps, with the same draw length, weight, etc.

I can't shoot my new Hoyt Trykon yet, due to my shoulder injury, but once I shoot that, I don't think I'll have a slow bow anymore. :D

My reflex shoots 225 fps turned all the way down.

RE: what is slow to you
 

You guys giving your arrow speeds, please also post the weight of your bow and grains of the arrow. I'm curious. :)

My 180fps is from a 12 year old XI with little bitty round wheels set at 50lbs and tossing a 520 grain arrow.

(my 110fps is from a 40lb Oneida with a 1500+ grain fish arrow)

155 fps is pretty slow. I probably shoot in the 170's to 180's with most of mine

180 FPS l
