I guess I'm a little slower than most, I shot a whopping 175-180 ft/ sec from my long bow
You're shooting faster than I am then.
but I was taught on a diffrent site to shot your bow through aDEER and screw the chronograph
Ha! Great advice.!

Shot three arrows thru a chrono last week at the range with my Darton Marauder and there flying at 286 fps , good enough to get the job done.

I agree. Although sometimes its cool to see how fast the arrow is going, i believe its highly overrated.
