arrow speed
 

im shooting a commandar 70 lb dw 31 1/2" dl and arrow weight is 508 grain what speeds do you think im shooting and does my arrow weighs to much thanks a lot

RE: arrow speed
 

I think it weighs enough and will be quiet enoughto kill a freezer full of deer..Good huntingb and good luck;)

RE: arrow speed
 

Rough guess about 263 fps

RE: arrow speed
 

I am thinking 270 - 275.


That is a looooong draw length.


Arrow weight is fine,especially for that much poundage and draw length.That would probably nock a deer over.[:o]

RE: arrow speed
 

Yeah...archers with 27" draws would kill to be as tall as you. Thats a long power stroke. Can't say exactly how fast your arrows will be going, but they will still be going after they punch through the deer....real question is will you be able to mine them back up out of the ground!

RE: arrow speed
 

The approximate arrow speed will be 264.1ft/sec.
[/align]The KE of your arrow is 78.7ft-lbs.
[/align]Your arrow speed is 180.1MPH.

thanks guys i like this place everybody is so helpful

RE: arrow speed
 

You should be in he high 270's, possiblylow 280's,with your draw length. Ontarget had 292.

However, I've found their numbers to be about 10 to 15 fps faster than what I get when I chrono my bow.

RE: arrow speed
 

Archers Advantage had 278 and that is why I said 270 - 275.

RE: arrow speed
 

I know you usually have solid number TFOX. I wasn't questioning that. Just supplying what Ontarget gave and what I've found.

Did you use the smooth or speed mods?

RE: arrow speed
 

Who cares about speed, with a 31.5 inch draw he could just reach out and smack the deer with his arrows. :D

RE: arrow speed
 

come on guys im only 6"5""

RE: arrow speed
 

keno,
Guys are actually complimenting you due to length envy!!!

You have to realize that most guys shoot 29" or shorter. Without a D-loop I can shoot 30.5 draw length but prefer to use a D-loop and go 30".The arrow is till smoking when it leaves and when it hits with a 430 gr arrow.

With the increased length you can get speeds out of heavier arrows that other guys have to go real light to reach. Or, they have to crank up the bow too. The difficult part is finding arrows that spine well.

By the way. What arrow and weight of tip are you using? I have some 29.5" long CX Terminal Hunter Camothat weight 519 gr. I might take them to the shop with me this weekend to see what speed I get.

Be happy with your height while you still have it. I was 6'3"+ when I was 20 and due to back problems am now closer to 6'2".[:'(]

RE: arrow speed
 

Pssssssst Dave it is a Commander they dont have the speed/smooth mod option;)

RE: arrow speed
 

I blame Ontarget for that mistake. I didn't think so myself but was giving them the benefit of the doubt and should have went with what I thought was true.

According to them the Guardian is the only one that does not have the mods.

The final choice was mine so I plead stupidity.:eek:

RE: arrow speed
 

Glad you said it.[8D]

RE: arrow speed
 

31 1/2" dl!! You can do things we mere mortals only dream about!!!! Sigh.....

RE: arrow speed
 

I'm willing to admit when I'm wrong TFOX. Seeing my mistake made me feel like that ESPN commercial where the guy is talking out his a$$ about sports.

Plus, when both mods gave the same speedsI should have looked at the Bowtech site again t oconfirm what I was seeing.

RE: arrow speed
 

I know this guy he works for me....His draw length isnt what he says it 27 and he is 5'7".....

RE: arrow speed
 

Iknow shorter guys that draw further than what would be considered standard. I'd bet your friend falls into that catagory. When they draw the peep is right beside their eye and the nock is back by the ear.

RE: arrow speed
 

The reason his draw length is soooo long is because his arms hang down to his knees

RE: arrow speed
 

Shoulder width has alot to with draw length.


I draw 28 1/2" on a target setup with a loop and I am only 5' 9 1/2".


I have been checked by a level 4 coach to be correct.I am shooting a little shorter now with a long d-loop.

The bow's a-a along with release style plays a major role in draw length.

RE: arrow speed
 

I was just kidding he really is taller than anybody else...It does look funny to see someone draw back that far tho!
