Do you have any idea whatarrow weighs?
huh?

lol.,......my hunting arrow is likely 460g+ (How much do blazers and a 5" reflective wrap weigh?). Target arrow is considerably less....

Blazers are 5 grains apiece.

OK....guessing a wrap weighs as much as the blazers, combined......I'd say my hunting arrow isover 460g.

300 arrow
15 wrap
125 broadhead
15 vanes
Lumenok....

Arrow I chrono'd was considerably less

Impressive. My Drenalin is pushing a 430 grain arrow 275 fps at 28.5 inch draw and 70#

The slayer I have been playing with is pretty quick too. I am using it as a temporary 3D bow until my other S4 gets here so I can shoot Harrisburg next weekend.

When I first got it, at 66lbs and a measured 29.5" amo draw length I put a 355 grain pro 22 through the chrono at 312. The cams weren't quite timed either at that time. I now have her at68lbs, timed perfectly, and the draw is let out a bit (around 30.25" amo) and I will get to chrono it again tomorrow.I am sure she is gonna be cooking @ 320+. This is the fastest bow I have shot to date right now and it reallyshoots pretty darn good, I am impressed so far.

Point of interest???? Don't they have a maximum speed you can be slinging arrows at the Harrisburg show or is it "Do What Ever you want"? I thought I saw on here somewhere once before that you're limited in most all 3D shoots to a maximum?

Harrisburg falls under IBO regs that don't have speed limitations, you just need to keep it above 5gpp which I am 15 grains over. ASA events are a different story though and havea 280fps speed max +/- 3% for differences in chronos so you actually have a limit of 288.

The only reason I am using this setup is because my 3D bow is still on order and waiting to be built at the factory, so this Slayer is a borrowed bow so I can still shoot in Harrisburg. The Slayers are quick, but at my draw length I really don't need the speed of a slayer.......it's just what I have now and I am simply using the arrows I have already made up for 3D. It does shoot OK though, I shot a 299 40+X 5 spot target last night with it at way over 300fps, a pins sight, and my 3D arrows.

When my bow on order gets here it is about 10-15fpsslower at the same specs and has almost an extra inch of brace height so its a bit more forgiving.

It's going through Martins custom shop being built to my specs.It's a scepter 4 riser with the shorter straight mag limbs, and a C base nitrous cam with the shoot through system. It *should* end up around 37.5" ata, 7.5" brace, and should do around 315-320 at my draw length if I shoot it at 5 grains per pound. I will probably shoot it around 300fps for IBO and local events, and slow it down to low 280's for the few ASA events I will shoot.
