OK Bowtechies I need help
82nd Airborne edit:& General
, 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

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!

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.

My 101 currently has 70# limbs on it. It is stiff but not overly stiff. Nothing like going and shooting them to answer your questions. If you want me to run one of my ACC's through the graph let me know. I also am thinking of shooting my FMJ's that weigh 500 grains out of it, but when I go for the open country Mulies in Oct. I'll be slinging the light arrows.Dan
