What is your Bow's arrow speed and KE

[brichards44]

Being excited about the up coming season I took my older PSE Whitetail Extreme to the Nock Point (Great guys) to get new sights and whisker rest put on. I also had them check the poundage and speed. Wow, I was a little discouraged with the results. 227 fps at 65lbs. That give me KE (Kinetic Energy) of 46 ft lbs. I'm sure it is enough, and it is all about shooting the right spot, but was wondering what everyone else is shooting to see if I'm even in the ballpark.

Here is a link to show you your KE http://bowsite.com/bowsite/features/practical_bowhunter/penetration/index.cfm

I like this calculator better.

It allows you to account for us that don't know their arrow speed because we've never had it tested.  My stats are about the same as yours but, with adding the grains that are on your string and draw length, it shows my arrow speed as 227fps and 40lbs of KE

I actually get the same stats from your calculator but, I needed the other one to find out my arrow speed.  Since I have never had it tested, I only knew the IBO speed.

My arrow weighs 407 gr, and I shoot it at 265 fps.. Not bad for only having a 27" draw length..  I am not a speed guy though.. I would rather shoot slower, and be accurate then be one of these guys who needs to shoot 300 fps + and out of control.. Anyways, I have 63.48 ft lbs of kinetic energy to answer the question..

82nd airborne 77ft lbs 327fps .47mo

Imo momentum is much more importanrt than ke

I have a maxxis 31, draw is 26 and poundage is 70. I shoot a 340 spine arrow with a 100 tip, my speed is 266. how do I know my KE?

just used your calculator and it says i have 69 lbs of KE. Just to verify, 340 spine is arrow weight?

Spine number is not arrow weight

[trophyhunt]

thanks, then i'm not sure what my weight is.  I don't have a scale that small.

You can calculate all the components and arrow and get pretty close
