Default Strictly for the Mathews shooters...

I'm doing my own little tally here. This is STRICTLY a fact gathering post, I'm not even gonna poke any fun.

For all you Mathews shooters, what speed are you getting on what poundage, draw length and weight arrow? Also, what bow.

This is for my own personal interest....Thanks.

Oh, and I am looking for actual chrono'd speeds, not guestimates. Thanks again.

362 or 382 grains arrow weight I can't remember which. The rest is in my signature. I can't get myself to buy a new bow becuase there aren't many faster than what I already got and it is 6 years old now.

No idea,I have never even cared. I bought my Outback after I shot the X-tec, and the Bowtech ( can't even remember which one it was back then) becauseI liked the way it shot better than the others.
