My X Force was shooting 309 fps with a 26" DL @ 73#. Now that I m shooting the correct arrow weight, Im shooting 285-289 fps. still 26" DL @ 73#.:D

X Force, last week here at the shop. 29" at 72# hit 350. Consistent though at 345. We sent multiple arrows through to see the differences.

My Marquis hit 318.4 I was impressed with that.

Remember 15 years ago... 280?!?!?!?!
Bullrider.......Man I want your chronograph.[:-]
I've read your numbers (and I own a Marquis myself) You might want to recalibrate that puppy or measure draw lengths and weights to verify.
Honestly as much as I like the Marquis , it aint doin' 318+fps at 28", and neither is the X-force doing 350fps at 29" (especially a true measured 29") and doubly especially if you have anything on the string.

If you extrapolate the Marquis out to a 30" draw you're talking an IBO rating in the 338-340fps range which is quite frankly impossible for that model. Even if you sprinkle fairy dust all overa barestring and shoot it from a car that's already going 20fps.;) That would make it the fastest single cam bow ever produced.

Just keepin' it real man. I own and promote theDiamond Marquis on an official levelso don't kill the messenger!
Just be aware of the numbers you are stating and think about if they even make sense. Knowledge is power.:)

The X Force might do that if the arrow is way under weight.

Oh absolutely.....that's why someone needs to check the actual draw weights, draw LENGTHS and arrow weights. AND the chronograph! LOL:D
I just know what those bows can and can't do and they aren't doing those numbers at those stated lengths/ weightsand 5grs / lb of draw weight, custom strings or not.

And I'm not knocking them either. I think the Marquis is one of the nicest single cam bows I've ever owned! :)

My hunting buddy Has a Iron Mase and shoots the HCA arrow's at 68lb and the crono at the tecno hunt said he was shooting 369 with 100 grain tips. Way fast![8D]

My fastest bow was a HCA Max force. 60 lbs@ 30 inch draw, shooting ACC 3-18s weighing 302 grains. It went 321, this was in 1997. It still own the bow and it is my main hunting bow.

Believe me or not on this one, but the fastest I have seen was a buddy of mine bought a PSE(from wal mart i believe) Nova maybe?

Anyhow it shot 315fps , 30'' 70lbs.draw I believe wth Wal-Mart arrows not sure what kind... he shot it at a hoyt shop and they could not believe it so they made him shoot a few more times and it was consistent!
That was with a tube peep and the puffy rubber silencers on the bow as well!

My Martin Jaguar was at 268 and my brothers bowtech mighty mite was at 280ish..... so you should have seen our reaction when he shot his bow that fast!!!

Wow...1997, huh? Owning that bow in 97 shooting those speeds would be like having a bow now that shoots 400+fps.:D
