OK Bowtechies I need help
82nd Airborne edit:& General:D, 27.5" or 28" (I can't remember) draw, 70#.
With that set up and a "standard" arrow (I don't know what I would need for that set up yet but my current arrow is 386 grains A/C/Cand I assume this one would be similar) what kind of realistic arrow speeds am I looking at? I am right on the edge of buying one of these puppies but it all comes down to getting enough speed for what I want. The only thing on my string is a peep and a nock. Also, my dad's set up is the exact same except he shoots low 60's draw weight. What would he be looking at? Thanks for the help. |
RE: OK Bowtechies I need help
Nice question..I'll be watching as I have a 27.5 DL also and would seriously consider a 50-60 lb bow as my next bow.
Can I add the General to the discussion in 27.5" 50-60lb |
RE: OK Bowtechies I need help
29" / 362gr. / 70#

RE: OK Bowtechies I need help
Here's some speeds on my Bows. All at 60# 28" draw shooting a 330 grain arrow.
General 278 fps Airborne 82 308 fps Don't overlook the 101 and the Guardian. Shoot them all! I'd hate for your decision to be too easy;) If you want a different weight arrow shot out of my bows. I'll try to get you some numbers to compare. Just let me know!;) Dan |

RE: OK Bowtechies I need help
Look forward to Rob's response. His numbers should be spot on with what you are looking for. I think he shoots a 28.5" #70, and a 380ish grain arrow.

RE: OK Bowtechies I need help
Dan,
I'll be completely upfront with what I am going for here. I currently have a Mathews Ultra II from 2001 or early 2002. I am shooting it at #64 and getting right around 274fps with the 386gr arrow. I have 1 pin to 30 yards that is obviously a little high at 10 and a little low at 30, but plenty close enough for hunting and that is all I am interested in. I am not a target shooter at all except for practicing for hunting. I have 2 interests in a new bow, both speed related. If I can increase my KE and momentum significantly, then it will greatly reduce my concern of shooting a 2" wide broadhead through an elk. Also, if the increase in speed is significant enough and I could get 1 pin to 35 yards then that would be a huge bonus. The reason I am looking almost exclusively at the 82nd is its speed and the fact that it is probably a smoother bow than what I have even with all that speed. However, I certainly don't know much about it yet and that is why I am asking you guys. Sorry for the novel and thanks again for your time. |
