If so, what bow, what pull weight, arrow weight, and fps are you getting?

I'm a 27.5

When I shot my 2005 Allegiance new at the shop set at 65lbs and if I remember correctly a 325 grain arrow combo I shot 270 fps.

I'm sure with the improvements in recent years and the newer bows you could get the speed up quite a bit.


I've since cleaned up my string cept for a string loop and tubeless peep and max out the poundage, as season approaches, so I've probably picked up in the neighborhood of 15 fps.

27"/69#: 345 grain arrow@ 290.2 fps, that was just to see what it would do. My hunting setup will be around 435 grain, it chrono'd in mid 260's, don't remember exact figure.

27" 70# mathews dxt with 423 grain arrows, probly get about 270s-280

My neighbor, 24 yr old young man, has a 25" draw, 70#'sDWand was getting 200fps out of a browning rage one. Until I gave him new arrows recently and we retuned it,he was shooting an arrow so stiff that the rest was all the way to the left, so far in fact, that he had to mount his sight on the inside of his riser. He has a 3 strand peep modified to use to strands. His string (to me anyway) is touch and go. Makes me afraid when he shoots it. We'll be putting on a new string in the next couple of days. With all of that said, he has killed 3 deer with 3 pass throughs the last 2 seasons.

Trust me when I tell you, ANY bow you buy and tune properly with the proper arrows will get the job done . Way to much worry about speed by people, IMO.

I shoot 27" at 63#
365 grian arrow
2007 Browning Myst

Im just guessing but Im prolly getting somehere in the mid 260s

Buddy is shootin the DXT at 27" at 73 lbs with 380-400 gr arrow and is getting over 300fpsafter heput a Schmitdy's Specialty Stringon it which gave him an extra 11 fps.

Ok, that sounds about right for what Im expecting. I will shoot a 26.5" draw @ 70# with a 367 gr arrow. Now for the string, it will likely have the bigger G5 metta peep= 6 gr, a kisser= 4-5 gr, and a loop=8 gr for a total around 19 gr on the string. I have not decided on the bow yet, but I do believe I have a buyer for the X Force!!! Im leaning towards a Black Ice, but I have not shot it yet, so we'll see. With all this, what kind of speed can I expect?? I ran the numbers on the calculator and got anywhere from 268- 274 fps. My only concern is decent arrow speed, enough for at least one pin out to 20 yds flat. Can this be achieved with these types of speed. Im not trying to blaze anything, please don't jump on me about speed!!! I have realized and seen the light!!! the X force cured me!! I just want to limit pins and I want to see how fast the arrow needs to go in order nreach that goal for one pin at that distance. thanks guys!!
