08 Diamond Black Ice 69#, 29", 409gr arrow @ 244fps. WTF! I know the hush kit, wb, peep, loop and kisser slow it down but damn this is nowhere close to everyone elses speeds!

Im thinking of getting 350gr arrows with blazers this week to see if I can speed things up a tad. Just got a new peep that doesnt have the rubber cord. Other than the speed I absolutley love my bow.

What is wrong with that speed?

With using a single pin sight I think shooting around 280-290 I would not have to compensate so much for any longer shots. Right now sighted in at 25yds it is very reliable to 32yds or so, BUT there is definatley a noticable drop in the arrow.

I SO love posting this.



HCA Iron Mace.
29" draw, 70#
Speed Pro 5.5 arrow (255 grains, I think).

My hunting setup is closer to 350 with a 290 grain arrow.

Probably less than 150fps (longbow)

Likely closer to 290fps (compound)
