It was 4 fps too fast for my 82nd, it said 334 but I don't know if I got my string weight right, I chrono'd at 330 fps

Sounds like it would be pretty close then. What all did you add and what did you enter for your string weight just out of curiosity?

I added 25 grains the first time as I use a Hooded Peep with a verifier lens, then I added it with 30 grains, only change a fps or so. I have no idea how close that is, I'm probably light on the string weight. It's probably more like 50 grains or so that'd put it rather close.

Wow I was pretty light on my string weight then. I didn't realize that stuff would weigh that much, but if it was only a FPS difference or so then I suppose it's not all that big of deal.

RE: Speed Calculator

It said my bow shoots 299 fps. and has 74.1 lbs of KE. In reality I shoot 289 fps and have 76 Ke. Not too far off. I put that my peep, d loop, and kisser weighed 18 gr.

RE: Speed Calculator

I have the 101 with a peep, kisser, loop, and 2 small silencers that came with the bow. I put in 18 grains as suggested and it was exactly on at 312 fps with the WB. I now have a drop away so I might have gained a 1 or 2 fps. I think that this is pretty cool.
