What is your Bow's arrow speed and KE

[trophyhunt]

I'm shooting the easton axis small diameter carbon arrows cut at 28'' from the valley of the nock. any idea what it might weigh?

You can find that info. on your arrow is usually like that 9.8gpi or 10.2gpi (grain per inch) then multiply by length of your arrow add point or broadhead weight.

[trophyhunt]

so I came up with 57ft lbs. Is that too low for elk?  My arrow is 28'' to the nock and it says 9.5 gpi, I shoot 100 grain tips and broadheads.

Trophyhunt-

I just roughly added up all your components and arrow and I came up with 415ish. Run that see what you get.

It says 65ft lbs, is that fine for elk? Thanks for your help.

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..   

I like speed bows, therer a lot of them  very accurate and speedy 300+fps
With that bow i can reduce draw weight to 60lb and not worry about penetration at all with a heavy arrow of course. I can shoot that bow daylong and not get tired.

28 inches x 9.5 GPI = 266 grains
Nock = 9 grains
Insert = 16 grains
Broad Head Adapter Ring = 5 grains
3 Fletchings 6grains each = 18 grains
100 grain Broadh Head
Total Weight Equals= 414 Grains.

Your Bow's IBO Speed is 323.  Which means according to the program your bow is shooting your 414 grain arrow at 260.4 fps which give you 62.4 #'s of KE. Hope that helps.
