Guess My Arrow Speed & Win!

[funkster]

sorry I dont by your speed inless you shoot a bow with a 5 inch brace hieght . I know that alot of guys use the rated ibo speed of a bow to guess there speed but the reality is when you put a hunting wieght arrow through it they slow way down . I'm not trying to diss anyone just bring a lil reallity to some of those really hi fps .

+1

It makes me wonder how many guys are roaming the woods with illegal arrow weight.

Is shooting over 400 even possible? And why would you

[DIYARCHERYJUNKIE]

5 grains is what legal arrow weight is in idaho and ibo for there standards as well.  Ibo should be the same w 30" +/-  3/4" draw and 5 grains. - 1 fps for every inch of draw less and + 1 fps for every inch over 30".  Anything much over 300 fps would be far fetched but he might just hardly break it and then I might win.

ok dy . I shoot 72 lbs with a 418 gr arrow at 31 inch draw and shoot 304fps If you shoot the same combo at 27.5 inches you will loose at least 15fps , sorry I dont by your speed inless you shoot a bow with a 5 inch brace hieght .

Couldnt agree more. I have yet to see a hunting set up on any bow come really close to the IBO speed. And I was one of those guys who when finally chronoed there bow was very disappointed at the speed compared to what I thought I was getting.

Never had mine Chrono'd but I really want to.  IBO is 315 and I swear I'm shooting 180-200ish.

Mine IBOs at 310 and im shooting 250fps with 27 in draw and 70lbs

You actually lose about 8-10 fps every inch under 30. Every 30gr over 350 for your arrow is about 10fps. Every 5lbs under 70 lose about 10fps. Average weight on string is 20-30gr so another 5-10 fps. This bow is rated 321. How could it possibly beat 300? Ibo is exactly 30" draw, 70lbs, 350gr arrow. Sorry if this helps people's guesses but I hate seeing so many misinformed people on here.
