Bow speed
 

I've been watching and enjoying Luxors " Show ur bow " thread " and have wondered what guys are getting for speed out of their setups . I know it's all about shot placement ,lol , but some of these look like real speed demons , care to share with us ? Add your arrows, broadheads and kinetic energy as well if you like ,thanx.

There was a thread last year on what people were shooting, what arrows and speed.

Getting 309 fps out of my hoyt carbon matrix with WOrld Best Strings

Thanx I was curious now as many of these are this years models . What draw length and weight are you pulling ? I've got 302 fps with an APA Mamba 6 ,29" arrow and 58#.

:D. Awesome 302 @ 58# Smokin !!!

I'm shooting the hoyt faktor turbo, 80# 30" draw. Arrows weigh 438 grains going 330fps.

shooting bowtech destroyer 350 with 350 carbon express blue streaks. getting 315 fps with a 28.5 DL at 65 pounds

I get 318fps out of my Experience....70lbs 28inch draw.

No Chrono readings but after the calculations I should be at 308fps with my Assassin set at 30" and 62lb with a 370g arrow.

Couldn't believe it to start with ,299,301 and 302 for 3 shots . Thanx for the replies guys,todays bows are sure a step up from even 5 years ago .

PSE Vendetta I Franken built with Mini Evo cams

62 lbs
True 28" draw
395 grains
Loop and Peep

285 fps

And that's 34" a2a 6 7/8" bh

Puts IBO at 340 fps

I have a Hoyt CRX32, 28.5" DL, 67 lbs DW, shooting Easton Axis 340s with 100 gr fieldpoint or Montec, total 380 gr. Chrony is right around 300 fps, + or - a couple. I have Winners Choice strings, had really good luck with those, using an QAD Ultra Rest Pro series drop away rest. G5 peep on string, other than that it is clean. Not the fastest out there, but after a while the only difference is how far in the ground your arrow sticks on the other side of the animal....:) I find it more than satisfactory.

Hoyt Spyder Turbo 81#, 29", 498gr Maxima Hunter 450, World Best Strings. 313-316 fps depends on chrono.
Most important stat for me is kinetic energy
109 ft-lbs = Smack!!!

That's wicked energy, shooting that heavy arrow at that speed! I'm getting all of 76 ft-lbs....but then again, I'm not drawing 81 lbs either.

308fps @ 28 DL with a 487gr @ 83# out of my Athens Ibex

apa mamba x8 at a 31.5". 63lbs 425gr arrow 310fps
Apa mamba x8 at 31.5" 68lbs 500 gr arrow 276fps

How do you like your bow? I just bought the experience! Seems to be great but haven't shot to many arrows through it yet though.

Bowtech. 70lbs 29" DL. 332 fps.

That's cooking what is your TAW?

Carbon Knight
70#
29" draw
29"/455 grain arrow

287fps
.57 momentum

Went with heavier arrow this year to increase my momentum, and using VAPS. :fighting0030:

Around 370 grains if I remember correct

What model of Bowtech. Even with that TAW that seem too fast. Are you having planning issues with the arrows.

No plaining issues at all. It shoots bullet holes in paper and shoot fixed broad heads like field points.
