Within WA limits... What is the real speed of your hunting bow and KE?

[MDGrand]

I know this thread has probably been tossed around before... but I am curious as to what others are getting.

Here is my set up:

Hoyt Vector Turbo, 29 1/2 " Draw, 70 lbs, Easton FMJ 340 - total arrow weight is 486.2 grains = 279 FPS & 84.2 KE

How about you?

Mathews Reezen, 28 in draw, 69lb draw weight on the scale, FMJ 400 with 85 grain Montech 416 grains , 289 -291 fps on the crono , its never exactly the same. I dont know upper 70's on the KE?? Calculated on the KE calculator Right around 78 on the KE.

70 lbs 420grain at 305fps right in the low 80's for ke.

06 elite e-500 28'' 65 lbs  fmj 340 463 grains I think I was at 273 fps .

I shoot a Hoyt CRX 32 29.5 inch draw at 70lbs, Easton FMJ arrows at 500 grains. Shooting 265 fps. with 78 lbs of KE.

Bear Assault/29.5" draw @ 67lbs pull. Beman ICS Hunter 340 with Muzzy 3 blade weighing 100 gr. Chronographed at 279 fps.

[Button Nubbs]

Fast enough to lay the smackdown on big bulls at 60lbs

[earlmarne]

last year i was shooting 550 grains at 240 fps out of my moxie at 72 lbs n 31 inch draw.this year will be a touch lighter

Bear Legend
26" draw
48lbs draw 
Beman ICS 500 w/ Savora 100gn broadheads weighing 340gn. total 

Never chrono'd it but the calculator says 233fps and 40lbs KE

A very wise man with a lot of insight and first hand knowledge of the archery business told me that all of the arrow speed and KE is a load of bull to sell equipment.  I trust and believe this man with all things archery.  Just wanted to post my stats.  Figured they'd be the smallest numbers out of all the manly men on here

'09 Hoyt Alphamax 64# @ 30" shooting Easton ST Axis 426 grains I'm at 282fps through the chronograph.

[deerslyr]

09 mission maniac 70 lb that happens to max out at 66 lb  28 in draw 430 grain arrow weight 250 fps

I'm ciurious to know how any calculator could estimate the speed of an arrow from a bow without it actually being shot.

Got it. Of course you know that two bows with identical specs (draw weight, arrow weight, etc.) can generate different arrow speeds but that should be a pretty good starting point.

Wow, Im extremely surprised, I entered all my hard data into that calculator and it came out spot on within 1 fps .
