Guys, for the second year in a row, I'm hunting witha #60 bow. I think this year, I've somehow got my bow shooting quicker than IBO.
After these numbers, tell me what you think this bow would IBO.
#61
28.75" draw. 27.5" to the back of the grip
380gr arrow
286fps
loaded string and everything.
It's kind of surprised me, I'm pretty excited actually. I'm beginning to find a few things that these PSE cams like. It should be a real fuzz buster for sure.
What are you guys getting out of your #60 bows?

If your pulling 27.5" to the back of the grip, your pulling a 29.25" AMO draw length. If you figure another 7fps for the DL difference, and 25fps for being 75 grains over (usually boils down to 1fps per 3 grains) and that would put the bow at an IBO of 318. What's it rated at?

Elite GTO 62# 325 grain arrow 27.5" DL 310 FPS this the fastest short draw length bow I have ever shot. But I did have to ship it to ohio to have it super tuned by Micheal at Terminal Velocity because no one around here had ever seen one.

61.2#/30"/394 grains/301.4fps
Elite GT500
It is with Michael at Terminal Velocity Archery as we speak. I will be surprised if I don't pick up at least 5-7 fps.

This isn't necessarily aimed at me since I shoot 70 pounds, but when I chrono'd, shooting 350 grain arrows and 100 grain broadheads, I was shooting 258 fps.
Not lightning fast, but fast enough.
