Fastest bow??
What is the fastest bow you have ever seen? on Chronograph, not hear say. Ive only seen a couple actually graphed, mine was clocked at 309 fps. PSE X force 26" draw at 70 lbs. I know there are much faster bows, let me hear it...

RE: Fastest bow??
I clocked an x-force at the shop last spring at 339. If I remember correctly it was 29", 62lbs, and a 309 grain arrow.
I also watched someone shoot an 05' 90lb Allegiance using a 320ish grain arrow. It went something ridiculous like 360........[8D]

You guys know I can't resist this one.
My 2007HCA Iron Mace, 29" draw, 70#. 29" Carbon Revolution 5.5 Arrow, 55 grain head. It could go a lot faster if I preloaded the cams and stretched her out to 30".

RE: Fastest bow??
Yeah, it's a special, ultra-light, ultra-stiffarrow that's specifically designed for HCA bows - up to 75#. It would void the warranty on anything else. The bows themselves come with top-end components (Barnsdale Limbs)and a lifetime warranty to the original owner. Since the arrow is spined so stiff, it can handle the force exerted onto the rear of the shaft (compare to a flimsy, underspined arrow).
I killed both of my bucks this year with that setup - 200 grain shaft with 85 grain Montec head (total weight = 285). It'sshooting in the neighborhood of 350 fps.
If you go to www.highcountryarchery.com - you'll see thebows there. For additional infoon their arrows, either follow the links from their site, ortry www.carbonrevolution.com WARNING: Their website is absolutely terrible.
It's definitely fast. No doubt about that.
Don't take my word for it. Find a dealer and go see for yourself. Some guys find the draw cycle a little stiff, others don't. Some guys are afraid of arrows that light, others aren't. All I know is, with my STS installed, it surely doesn't sound like a bow that's screaming at 370. Also, unlike other "speed bows" - you're working with a big brace height (7 1/4"), which makes it quite easy to shoot.
Fastest speeds I've ever seen, that's for sure.
