I've seen a lot of threads/debates/arguments on faster vs. slower, ke vs. momentum, heavier vs. lighter, etc. I don't get involved in those because I simply don't know. I'm still trying to decide what final setup I want to hunt with. All I'm curious about here is how fast your hunting arrows fly and what the average will be.

fast enough to Kill deer

Of course it is.
I know that slower speeds can kill just as effectively. I'm just curious.

Our chrono at work is on the fritz, so I wasn't able to get a real consistant reading when I had my bow in, but I was getting anywhere from 269 - 278fps.

Currently just over 280. I just upped my poundage so my speed increased as well. With my previous speeds (274 fps) I had complete pass throughs on everything from white tail to elk at distances up to 45 yards. So why did I increase my poundage? Just because I could I guess.

You can probably guess my answer on the poll.

I don't know right now to be honest. I did know, but I forgot. I bet if I looked on here somewhere I have said.

If I had to guess, right know it is around 220 fps. I am pretty sure it isn't over that.

I guess I'm a little slower than most, I shot a whopping 175-180 ft/ sec from my long bow. but I was taught on a diffrent site to shot your bow through aDEER and screw the chronograph
