Title: insanity cpxl speed
Post by: demontang on January 08, 2014, 09:42:56 PM: So tomorrow im going to be testing the speed of my insanity cpxl. Im going to shoot it at 60lbs 31" with a 470gr arrow and im going to crank it to 72lb with the same arrow and see if it will shoot ibo or close to it. I may shorten the draw to 30" and see if the 350gr arrow will hit 340 :tup:

Post by: demontang on January 09, 2014, 09:48:50 AM: All right oad strong peep dloop and a 470gr arrow 30.5" draw 60lbs = 269fps same arrow @ 70lbs was 289fps. 420Gr arrow came in at 303fps and ibo weight arrow hit 318fps. Dont think thays to bad with a loaded string.

So just added up all thats on the string and theres 69grns on the string. With the 10 nock sets on the factory sting that they do for speed.

Proof. 60Lbs 470gr

Post by: coachcw on January 09, 2014, 10:13:09 AM: mine shoots 310 at 70 lbs 31 inch and 420 grain arrow .
Title: Re: insanity cpxl speed
Post by: demontang on January 09, 2014, 11:04:43 AM: Sounds like we are close. I took the chrono outside and was putting the 470gr arrow out of the bow at 320 four shoots in a row :dunno:
Title: Re: insanity cpxl speed
Post by: demontang on January 09, 2014, 01:46:30 PM: So after some arrow weight check my what I was told where 350gr arrows are really 373 so my bow is shooting slightly over ibo rating. The 420gr is 4fps over what they should be and the 470 is 2fps. Im thinking ill pull the nock sets and see if it picks up any speed :dunno:

When it shoots slower what are you going to do? :chuckle:

Always fun to play and learn what really does make a difference in equipment. But, don't forget...it's better to kill'em at 200 fps than to miss them at 400 fps.

Post by: brianb231 on January 10, 2014, 06:23:57 PM: Keep In mind that some of those nocks or "speed Knocks" were put on the string to generate speed so don't be real surprised if you don't see the gains that you are thinking you will see.

Just a thought.
Title: Re: insanity cpxl speed
Post by: demontang on January 10, 2014, 07:15:35 PM: I can always put them back on I know how many and where they where :tup: im very accurate with the bow so what can a little extra speed do unless my broad heads plan :chuckle:
Title: Re: insanity cpxl speed
Post by: demontang on January 12, 2014, 09:58:54 AM: So no gain no loss :dunno: got the same speeds on all arrow weights.

Sort of expected that. But, what did you experience in regards to vibration and feel at the shot? On a lot of these large cam bows there is a big difference with that. I've never tried it with the CPXL and would sure be curious what you thought.

Sounds like you are having a lot of fun! I feel jealous as work is so busy these days I don't get to play like that much anymore.
Title: Re: insanity cpxl speed
Post by: demontang on January 12, 2014, 12:13:53 PM: I thought id get more noise and vibration but really to me it feel like some of the vibration it has is gone :dunno: the noise sounds the same too.

Your the reason im doing all the tinkering im. Its helping my kbowledge grow and its fun :tup:

Sure...blame the old guy :chuckle:

Glad you are having fun. That's the best way to learn. I never could fully understand when just reading the pages of a book. Hands on really brings the ingredients to life.

Title: Re: insanity cpxl speed
Post by: demontang on January 12, 2014, 08:55:53 PM: So im thinking that im going to order up some winners choice strings made of 8190 and retune my bow to see what happens plus I can get my colors I want not black an red :tup:

Post by: Instinct on January 12, 2014, 09:24:17 PM: :tup: right on man. Pretty quick!
Title: Re: insanity cpxl speed
Post by: demontang on January 12, 2014, 10:02:07 PM: Its not bad for how heavy my arrows are. Im hopping to hit closer to 300 so we will see how close I get it :tung:
Title: Re: insanity cpxl speed
Post by: earlmarne on January 12, 2014, 10:08:00 PM: very respectable speeds.

Post by: demontang on January 15, 2014, 03:30:06 PM: Looks like im going to get so strings made and play with the tune some more.
Title: Re: insanity cpxl speed
Post by: demontang on January 15, 2014, 04:59:16 PM: Ive re done the tune and picked up 2fps average. It now shoots the 373gr at 319 and the 470gr at 290fps
Title: Re: insanity cpxl speed
Post by: demontang on January 16, 2016, 05:51:18 PM: Well started to do more tuning and playing again. I took all cam lean out and played with the timing some. I picked up a few fps with only the d loop rad peep on the string. I'm going to put some speed nocks on and play some more but my insanity is shooting over ibo. 420gr arrow at 305.8 fps I set it at 60 lbs and got 294.6 and I tried 31" and got a two shot reading of 368fps which I believe was the light failing so I'll shoot more tomorrow.
