cuculate your bows fps into mph

formula is
fps X 60=fpm (feet per minute)
fpm X 60=fph (feet per hour)
fph / 5280=mpm (miles per minute)
mpm X 60=mph

mine is 180mph

I think I'm doing something wrong here:

274 fps x 60= 16,440 fpm

16,440 fpmx 60= 986,400 fph

986,400 fph/5280=186.18 (I assume this would be correct)

If I do the final calculation I get:

186.18 x 60= 11,170.8 mph

So either there are to many multiples of 60 in there or you guys have some slow bows.[&:]

Yep. You've got it, Bry. Just drop the mpm x 60. Once you divide by 5280, that's it.

I'm with HuntingBry, it's miles per hour then it's 14277 Mph it it was miles per minute then it'd be the lower number of 207....
