I got a chance to shoot a BlackKnight today
SPPPEEEED is all I can say!! This one was a 70 pounder with 30 inch mods and I shot a 350 grain arrow through the chrono at 355 fps
I then tried one of my own 452 grain aluminum arrows and it went 321[8D] Now, if i've figured this right, that would be 103.44 ft. lbs. K.E.
That's enough to hunt trophy colosalmonsters!!!!!!!! Noise was not nearly as much as I thought it would be and though I didn't shoot more than about 10 arrows, accuracy seemed good for the bow being not set up for me. It will give your shoulder a work out though!!!

I'm supposed to shoot Ausie's Black Knight one of these days. He has some 30" modules so I can shoot it in my draw length. I'm sure I'll probably have one next year if I end up liking it. I'd go with a 60#er though, my tendonitis will surely thank me.

Jeff I found 500fps's reply about the Speed Pro's and his BK...I was curious too when I heard about someone trying it for giggles. Here's his response:
"I got 412 fps from my 04 BK, 71/29.25, and don't know the exact weight of the arrow....they are 29", 3-3" feathers, 65gr screw in point
Well, I took the string silencers off at the same time I switched out the modules, so there are 2 factors in the increase in speed, but I got 422 fps. The reason the increase wasn't more is that the 29" module AMO's at 29.25", and the 30" mods AMO'd at exactly dead nuts on 30", so you are only increasing draw length by 3/4"

WWAG.
Thats smoking
I get 280 out of mine set on 60lb 28" draw with a 400gr arrow thats plenty fast enough for me unless I can con someone else into pullin the arrows
Matt / Jeff
There is no way I would even contemplate using those ultra light arra's out on my BK.
Mike.
Hopefully I wont have the cluster I had today installin these windows so pencil in next Tuesday at Reds

Geeesh, that is fast. I had a chance to shoot one a few weeks ago and was definitely impressed with the speed. A nice, well built bow but a little too short on the brace for me to fall in love with.
