What is your Bow's arrow speed and KE

[vaz,,66]

Nonsense.  I actually own 3 recurves and have built a few myself.  I shoot them a few times a year and even hunt with them occasionally.  In a short amount of time after not shooting them for awhile I can be proficient enough to hunt.  So called traditional archers are no better than any other archer.  There are guys who hunt with "traditional" gear who don't pick up a bow until the week before the season too. 

First i thought to respond, but then i red your signature some good words you have down there..........

Z7 29.5 draw... 70 lbs....425 grain arrow.. How much? I dont know the FPS

Stats say up to 333 FPS, Have not chrono'd mine.  Mine's similar setup with 70 lb draw.  Shoot Beman MFX 300 (10.7 gpi) at 29 inches.  310 + 125 grain Muzzy Phantom = 435 grain.  That would make KE 107.2 at maximum FPS.  I might just be able to get my elk and my deer in the same shot...just have to get them to stand next to each other.

With that arrow weight you should be shooting around 290fps and 82ftlbs KE.  333fps would be IBO rating which is 350 grain arrow, 30" draw @ 70lbs.

What does weight on the string mean?

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

What does weight on the string mean?

Im pretty sure it means the weight of the peep sight, d-loop, string silencers.

The calculator tells me:

29" DL, 70lbs, 424 gr arrow, 280 fps, 74 KE

PSE X FORCE! Here are my stats for diffrent hunting situations.

Washington hunting "to be legal" 450g arrow at 75lbs= 307fps KE=94
New Zealand 450g arrow at 83lbs= 323fps KE=104
3d shoots if I change from my washington setup 375g arrow 75lbs= 332fps KE=92
YES MY BOW IS ONE BAD BIT#*

After reading you numbers I would feel insecure if I posted mine..
Over bow much?
I'm gonna setup a 80# omen just to blow your KE out of the water! Lol

The computer says a 80 omen can produce about 121# of KE for me lol

   I got the same and that was with a WA legal arrow weight.

Take that carp!
Blown out of the water!

I don't know my KE but I weighed my arrows and chrono'd my bow the other night. Hoyt Alphamax 32 at 64# and a 30" draw.
I weighed 3 arrows...464,465,464 grains and I shot those 3 arrows through the chrono... 262 262 263 fps.

Calc says 70.8 KE

This calculator has a shot angle distance calculator that confuses the h*ll out of me. I understand that if "Straight Line Distance" is 28 yards then the horizontal distance is 20 yards at 45 degrees, but why would the aim point be for 14.1 yds? In my little pea brain, the aim point should be whatever the horizontal distance is.
