How fast am i shooting?
hi guys... i purchased a new bowtech SWATa week ago, and i'm trying to figure out the speed roughly without a chronograph. heres the specs: i'm shooting at 70 lbs. my draw length is 31 in.and the total weight for the arrow in grains is 460. the ibo specs for the bow are 314-322 fps. i'm just wondering what kind of speed i'm shooting roughly.

I added 10 grains of weight on your string along with the Data you submitted and came up with 292 FPS

i'd say between 280 and 285, but I'd say your arrows are a little underspined with the 125 grain heads.

underspined? care to explain? i thought the guy at the bowshop set me up right with the 7595's.....

I agree that your spine is going to be weak.That is the problem with Goldtips.They are rated up to 95#'s but no way in hell will that happen at long draw lengths such as yours.The 7595 is only a 340 spine and you clearly need a 300.
I am getting you right at 280 fps.

1 question. How long are your arrows? Even with the 125s, you almost have to be leaving them full length to get 460.

Not if they are camo,which that was what I assumed,so I could get that weight when I ran the numbers.

Most of us are shooting arrows shorter than our draw length buy about an 1".
You are well underspined.IMO,you will need to be shooting a 30" arrow that is a 300 spine to be close to correct at that poundage.
