Wow...1997, huh? Owning that bow in 97 shooting those speeds compared to the "normal" speeds would be like having a bow now that shoots 400+fps.

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.

Again, like Matt suggested/requested. What arrow weights are coming at these speeds. I'd be curious to see how many are manipulated under 5 grains per pound?

WE GOT MY BUDDIES XF UP TO 329FPS AT 29INCH DRAW, 70, 364 ARROW. THAT'S DARN FAST FOR ME.THE PRO SHOP HE BOUGHT IT FROM GOT THE 29DL XF UP TO 348 WITH AN UNDER WEIGHT X WEAVE ARROW. WE NEVER HAD THE CHANCE TO SEE WHAT THE XF WOULD DO AT 70,30DL AND 350 ARROW . HIS HUNTING SPEED IS 319 AT 29DL 70 AND 389GRAIN ARROW. STILL FAST FOR A HUNTING RIG.

RE: What is the fastest you ever saw??
last time i saw a chrono reading was back in the 90's 
I had an Indian paragon bow, complete with a high countryoverdraw, and rediculasy short arrows It was a 70-80# bow, i was shooting 75#'s and it would spit out 248 fps, i thought that was smoking for its time I usually dont get into the high tech side of things now, if it gets the job done then its good enough for me

I'm sure everyone was waiting for me to chime in here... So I will.
If I used the 55 grain broadheads that I have, I could be hunting at that speed. But, my hunting heads are 30 grains bigger, so my speed dips down to the 350 range for deer hunting.
That's at 29" 70#, with an arrow weighing somewhere around 250 grains. HCA Iron Mace, Speed Pro 5.5. On over 7" of brace height.
I should notethat theCrazy-fastQueen Mother of all Rocket Arrows wasn'tjust a one-time thing where I stood back, closed my eyes and fired - just to see how fast I could make it go (hoping my bow didn'texplode).I canshoot that arrow all day long. Hell, I hunted with it. LOL

Really doesn't mean much. I've seen a lot of bows that will shoot faster than that with those weight arrows.[8D]I've shot a lot of Speed bows down through the years and I've never shot a smoother, faster, handshock free bow as the Airborne 82. Mine is pushing a Legal arrow 318fps at 28" draw and 60#
