I've never given the speed of my bow much thought (I knew it was pretty fast)....but we were shooting 3D, Tuesday night, and a guy I shoot with wanted me to chrono it. 301fps with my normal target arrow @ 63-64lbs.

I've also never been one to put much merit in IBO......because I think their criteria is useless to the common hunter, BUT.....when I go back to 71lbs (picking up an estimated 2fps per draw lb.....) I'm going to be over 300fps with my hunting rig.

That's pretty cool....

Whats your draw length Jeff? Just curious.

Yeah, that is cool. As you can see by my signature I am not as cool as you. Can you tell me more about what your set up is... bow, draw length, arrow weight, etc? Thanks. Also, what is your drop between 20 and 35 yards? I am wondering how fast a bow would have to shoot to get a top pin at 35 yards that is why I am asking that. My current top pin is 30, so if I could get 35 that would be worth the upgrade to me. And yes, it is because I do not want to have to use range estimation or worry about a range finder for those who want to roast me for saying that.Thanks again.

My draw length is 29". I shoot 1 pin to 30 yds....even for 3D....and I don't have to worry about ranging, either, now. I don't think it's bad to say that.

I have an '07 Allegiance.

So do you know how far the arrow drops between 20 and 35? Say if it is dead on at 20 how low does it hit at 35? Thanks

Well....I can tell you that I had a Spot hogg on my Switchback. When I switched it over to my Allegiance.....I first shot at 10yds at the range. (2nd shot was a robinhood....but I digress)

Quickly got it sighted and moved to 20 yds. Minor adjustment.....and I move to 30 yds. My son was with me....and with the lighting in the range....I told him to watch where the arrow hit. I shot the 30 yd pin that was set where I had it for my SB (I simply moved the entire sight window to set the 20 yd pin). He looked at me funny and asked which pin I shot. I told him the 30. he said..."way high"....shoot your 20. I did.A couple of inches at 30 yds?? VERY minor.

I never set the other pins....and I hunted the next day (after sighting in broadheads and makinga VERY MINOR R/L adjustment).

I hope that's what you were looking for?????

Thanks GMMAT. I appreciate your time.

Very Cool Jeff, the 07's must be humping. My 06 is at 301fps with my ACC's at 70 lbs.

I don't think they're ANY different, Rob. I just shoot a lighter arrow for indoors/3D. When I get my hunting arrow on...and get it canked up to 71 lbs....I just hope to have the same speed. I think I will.

Kinda apples and oranges....my setups. Didn't mean to imply differently.

Do you have any idea whatarrow weighs?
