RE: ibo vs actual speed
ej, if you're shooting a 30" draw length, you will be... Remember, take off 10 fps for every inch of power stroke you give up. For example, my Allegiance is shooting 331 fps with a 30" draw. Since I'm actually shooting 29", I'm closer to 321. [

Don't forget to take into consideration your arrow weight ,and your draw weight .These bow's are based on 30" and a very light arrow [Can't remember weight ] but usually it's based on a lighter arrow than you most likely will be using for hunting.

Mike,
Now why didn't you just ask me when you were down at the shop the other day?
I tend to use the figures that Zak posted. They will get you close to the speed you attain out of the chrono. You going to be down on Thursday? I have to sight in and chrono the Old Glory.

Ok, so I have a PSE typhoon rated at 298 (they say)and I am using a trophy taker drop away rest with a peep site. That is the only things on my string. With the right arrows, do you think I am maybe in the 275-280 range? Just wondering. EJ

I agree with Paul. You just set your bow up to get the best shooting you can do with it and live with what speed you get, realizing that for hunting speed is almost a non-issue for shots under 30 yards. More important to have smooth and quiet.
Now, you want a fast bow then you go out shopping and shooting fast bows. That means bows that IBO in the 320-335 range. Then you'll get speed. Of course it will be about double the price of your Typhoon.

I have put more thought into what new sight and bow to get then I did with my last 2 trucks. Something just does not seem right about that.
