Quote from: colockumelk on May 26, 2010, 04:05:18 PMHey Todd hows it going? Could you let me know the performance I can expect from my bowset up and my wifes bow set up. Such as the arrow speed, KE and arrow drop from 20yds out to 50yds. My bow is shooting a 455g arrow at 262 FPS. My wifes bow is shooting a 353g arrow at 229 FPS. Thanks. BTW thank you for the advice. Heavier is awsome. I have never shot so accurate. Love it or had so much trouble pulling arrows out of a target. (Awsome penetration) Thanks.Need more info here. Point weights, fletch type, etc. all have an effect on the flight. Basically list out everything again, and I can make it happen, but there are too many variables to make guesses and end up anywhere near accurate results.

this was the set up that was recamended to me to maximize my arrows speed. I was told it would work just fine. Can you do me a fav and calculate the numbers using an 80lb draw... as well as switching over to the beman elites .340 spine? i would like to know the kinetic energy with the .340 spine and 80/84lbs
I want to see if my spine is correct.The bow is a 2O1O hoyt maxxis 35, at 65lbs 29" draw.My arrows are carbon express maxima hunter 35O's cut at 28". 1OOgr tip, 3 blazers and a blazer wrap, bulldog nock collar and the standard inserts and nocks for them.Thanks!
Colockum,Your bow: 13.8% FOC, 69.6 ft-lbs KE, 35" 20-50 drop, 58.1 ft-lbs KE @ 50 @ 239 fps.Your wifes: 14.15%, 41 ft-lbs, 47.2" 20-50 drop, 35.3 ft-lbs @ 50 @ 212.5 fps.I'd gladly recommend either broadhead. The Slick Tricks have killed several deer for me; with new blades they are scary sharp, they fly great, and I can resharpen them on my Lansky. The Shuttle T's I haven't shot, but I've seen 2 deer and an elk that have been killed with them, and they punch a nasty big hole all the way through because of the design, and everyone says they fly great.

Here's what it says for your setup: 287 fps, 391 grain arrow, 11.5% FOC, 71.3 ft-lbs KE, 20-50 drop is 28", KE @ 50 is 60.5 @ 264 fps. The recommended spine shows .379", so your .337" Maxima's are a bit stiff but not so much so that you'd notice any difference by spending hundreds for new arrows just to get a little closer to the proper spine. You could go to a 125 grain head and get a recommended spine of .366", 281 fps, 416 grain arrow, 13.9% FOC, 73.2 ft-lbs KE, 29.3" drop, 62.1 ft-lbs KE @ 50 @ 259.4 fps.You're in a good spot to be able to play around a bit with point weights and see which flys best. If you''ve already got everything you could possibly want and are happy with it, then I say don't monkey with a not broke system. The biggest advantage I see in your setup going from 100 grains to 125 grains is the gain in FOC; you'll see better broadhead flight the higher you get.
