billy... Pick up your bow and head to the proshop. They should have a chronograph that you can shoot through. This machine, if properly calibrated, should give you exact FPS.

Honestly I' m not really sure, I haven' t checked in a long time. Probably around 240 w/530gr arrow if I can remember right.

What I do know is...it' s QUIET enough that it doesn' t really matter how fast it is[:-]
