New Mathews Drenalin. I have ?'s
 

I bought the drenalin at a bargain of 600 dollars. Witha muzzy zero effect drop away rest and a 350 to 400 gr. arrow, What is the maximum fps i good get.Hoping for about 290-295. Put your input in

RE: New Mathews Drenalin. I have ?'s
 

With a 350 grain arrow you should be around 300-305 with a 29" DL and 70# with a loop and peep on the string. With a 400 grain arrow you will probably be somewhere around 285-290 with the same setup.

RE: New Mathews Drenalin. I have ?'s
 

We need a little bit more information such as what is your draw length? What draw weight will you shoot it at?

If you were shooting it at a 30" draw at 70 lbs. it's not unreasonable to think you could get those speeds.

Edit: I didn't see your sig. DUH!What Jeremy said.

RE: New Mathews Drenalin. I have ?'s
 

The Mathews website says you can get 320 on it and my archery guy says you can get more then that out of it. It all depends on how you tune it and what kind of arrowsyou use.

I have a Drenalin and there is NO WAY he will get 320 out of it at 29".... and stay in the warranty

RE: New Mathews Drenalin. I have ?'s
 

You dont think it will reach 320???????????

RE: New Mathews Drenalin. I have ?'s
 

not even close ..... high 290's, maybe ...

RE: New Mathews Drenalin. I have ?'s
 

It will get 320 with nothing on the string and a 30" draw at 70#, however he is using a 29" DL and more than likely a loop and peep on the string. I'm sticking with my original estimate. ;)

RE: New Mathews Drenalin. I have ?'s
 

Well I guess I will find out when I get mine in.

RE: New Mathews Drenalin. I have ?'s
 

maybe, mathews are notorious to not reaching their ibo #s.

RE: New Mathews Drenalin. I have ?'s
 

Man I hope it does that is what I have my heart set on I chose it because of how smooth, quiet and fast it is.

RE: New Mathews Drenalin. I have ?'s
 

Dude, the bow is awesome at 280fps.......... don't worry if you don't hit 300 ..... make sure you are at your 5 gpp.....

RE: New Mathews Drenalin. I have ?'s
 

Preacher Tony what do you mean about the last part.

RE: New Mathews Drenalin. I have ?'s
 

I believe he meant to say make sure you are at 5 gpp (grains per pound). Below this will void the warranty. For a 70# bow this means your total arrow weight should be at least 350 grains. This is also what is used to rate the IBO speed, so anything over 5gpp will cause the bow to shoot slower than advertised. Just all facts of shooting that you can't change.

RE: New Mathews Drenalin. I have ?'s
 

Ah ok got it thanks.

RE: New Mathews Drenalin. I have ?'s
 

I tested the Drenalin out quite a bit before I ownedone. Last yearI did a random speed test withtwo different bows on therack and several extra arrows that we hand laying aroundthe shop.The bows were both30in DL and set at right at 70 pounds. One bow was aright hand and one left hand (I'am a lefty). Both shot each arrow 5 times for average arrow speed based off of ten shots.


2007 Drenalin with loop and rad peep installed. 30" DL set at 70 pounds.
386 Gr. Lightspeed 400.............................. ......309 f/s
404 Gr. Bemon Black Max 400.............................301 f/s
450 Gr. Gold Tip XT 7595...................................286 f/s
525 Gr. Easton AC Super Slim 300............... ........268 f/s
640 Gr. Est Gamegetter II (full length) 2219...........243 f/s

I haved since tested my own Drenalin and it came right on with the above numbers.

RE: New Mathews Drenalin. I have ?'s
 

Thank you Jeremy .... that is what I meant ..... I saw my last post .... wow! I musta been tired :D Sorry about that Armybowhunter!!! Don't worry ... it's an awesome bow ...... besides, have you seen the snail that Germ shoots?[8D]

RE: New Mathews Drenalin. I have ?'s
 

Nope I guess I haven't LOL, I just cant wait to get mine and the @#^%$ IRS is taking for ever on my return. Thanks

RE: New Mathews Drenalin. I have ?'s
 

I agree, you will love the bow. I had one also and even at a 26" draw it was shooting between 265-270. Very accurate and very quiet, I'm sure you won't have any problems with it.

RE: New Mathews Drenalin. I have ?'s
 

I have a 29in Drenalin and am shooting 405 total grains at 70lbs and I am registering 292fps. It is a sweet shooting bow, I hope you enjoy it.
