RE: Question for you all....
ORIGINAL: Chris W. I draw just under 29". The last bow I chronographed pulled 49# at that draw length. It averaged 194 fps with a 445 gr. Beman ICS hunter arrow. Shooting 2 blade magnus heads, it zipped right through the deer I shot with it. Keep in mind, Kenetic energy is only part of the equation when it comes to arrow penetration. If your arrow flight is poor and/or your broadheads aren't sharp, penetration is going to suffer regardless of the KE you setup can generate. Schultzy....Those 2216's should weigh in around 540 gr, give or take a few grains. You're generating around 53 ft/pounds of KE with that setup. Those snuffers make quite a hole; don't they?:D |
RE: Question for you all....
I haven't shot anything with this yet, as I just got it but here are my numbers
27" draw 58# hybrid longbow 582 gr arrow chrono'd at 168 fps. which gives me 36.4 of KE. |
RE: Question for you all....
ORIGINAL: LittleChief If some of you don't mind sharing, with your traditional bows, what's your.... 1. Draw length: 2. Draw weight: 3. Total arrow weight: 4. FPS (if you've ever shot through a chronograph). I'm wondering what kind of KE I should expect to generate with the new longbow. I guess I just want to make sure I set myself up with enough energy to do the job this next season. I currently have 5 trad bows. going to thin the herd. But one is 42#, more my wifes than mine. Three are 50#. And my new zipper is 58#, but I measure 60# on a bowscale! I shoot 2016's with 125gr on on bow at 500gr. I shoot 2018's with 145gr on two of the bows for 560gr, and 2216's with 175gr tip for 600gr for my 58# bow. I like to have at least 10gr/#. I know my martin savannah at 50#'s with 560gr arrow gets 170fps. With my Zipper with 600gr arrow, I get 185fps or more. |

RE: Question for you all....
I draw 30.5"(To the front of the riser)on my Black Widow SA-V at a hair under 62# , arrows are 572grs and were doing 193-195fps through the chrono. That's 47ish ft lbs of KE with a cut on contact head which should be enough to take pretty much any animal in North America. :)
Just in case.;) |

RE: Question for you all....
I wondered for years what I was doing wrong, because I'm not supposed to have as long a draw as I do. Heck, I used to draw 32" on a longbow, but that was anchoring in the corner of my mouth and standing straight up.
I anchor on a tooth right under my eye--bicuspid? It's not a canine, because I had those pulled when I was 13 so there would be room for braces to get the rest of my teeth in the right place (I was so buck-toothed I could eat an apple from the back side). I'll still draw near 32" with a high-wrist recurve. For the record, I'm 6'2" or 6'3", depending on which leg I stand on. One thing I'd like to note--chrony numbers can vary a LOT, depending on calibration, light conditions, arrow flight, etc. etc. etc. I've shot my bow through three different ones and got basically the same numbers (187 avg.), so I think it's fairly accurate. I don't care myself, but I have a lot of people ask me what kind of speed I get. 'Course the longer draw helps. I'll also note that was not with anything "doctored". Shot with a glove, same string I hunt with (14 strand Dynaflight '97, full set of "cat whisker" silencers, 8" of .025 serving). I can get 200+ fps with some tinkering and a little lighter arrow, but.......like I said, I don't care. I'll shoot through anything I'll ever get to hunt on this continent. Chad |
