Default What kind of speed are you getting out of yur bow

I was just wondering what kind of speed you are getting out of your bow? I have an AR and get 274 through the chronograph. I can get IBO speeds off any sight I only would like to know speeds through a chronograph, and no BS. Please put in your set up also.

Here we go again.
Lets see Pat VFT 29" draw, 65#, 420 grain arrow ~ 265 fps w/ my 7fps slower than most chrony. peep string loop and BT string things.
I need to check it again after some recent tinkering.

Parker phoenix 32, 70 pounds draw weight, 30 inch draw, 402 grain arrow.........291fps.

I want to go to a heavier arrow though, about 460 - 470 grains and get somewhere around 270fps

2003 Martin Jaguar Magnum @ 65#'s, String loop, kisser, string leaches, and a piece of poop slide.

I can't remeber what arrow I was using, but it was just some run of the mill hunting arrow.

251 Fps.
