Default 60# or 70#

Question to the pros...if I set up two Allegiances exactly the same:



29" DRAW

29" GT XT HTRS, factory inserts
3 2" Blazers
Speed nocks
100 Gr point

Approximately how fast will each one shoot?
I am trying to figure out if I should even shoot the 70#, figuring the speeds that are being advertised for this bow. I would love to get 280+ out of a 60# one and just enjoy a smooth, effortless draw.


Thanks all, Bo

If you set each bow exactly the same, take the speed from the 70 pound bow, and deduct around 5 FPS for every pound you take away.I have no idea what they would shoot though.

Personnally I'd prefer the lighter draw, and hold over drawing & holding more lbs for some added speed. I think its more important to be able to draw straight back without bow movement, and be able to hold for as long as possible with your setup. Over struggling to draw & hold for the added speed trying to gain. Of course alot of that depends on your strength too. If 70 lbs is pretty easy for you in cold weather, then go for it.

When I was testing the Allegiance with my arrow, an Easton ACC weighing in at 381 gains with a 100 grain tip,

The 60 lb Allegiance at 29" shot 282 fps.
My 70 lb Allegiance at 28.5" shoots 305 fps.

You should have no problem getting 280 fps plus out of an 60 lb Allegiance with no problem....
