Appropriate Velocity?

[jonesn3]

That speed seems about right in my opinion. Based on my similar IBO speed bow, Bowtech RevoltX, 70lb DW, but differing a bit on the mod and DL (I’m at 29.5” with performance mod, and draw stops set to about 80%LO). Also, at the risk of extrapolating beyond my dataset and using a simple linear fit, I would’ve guessed 243 fps or so with your AW 606gr and my bow setup. Again, not apples to apples comparison, but I’d say based on ballpark numbers your 238 fps seems reasonable. My data was measured with the Garmin chronograph.

I would say its right.
My V3X at 70lbs with a 515 gr arrow was like 257.
Dropped down to 460gr and its right at 280fps now which is where I want to be.
Still pushes 80lbs of KE so im fine with it.
606gr is like a broomhandle.

even using the generic online speed estimate calculators, your speed number is right on the money. 606 is a super heavy arrow (IMO), I've never been a fan of the FMJ arrows because of how much much they end up weighing to get a decent FOC on them. I'm a 30" draw so it makes it even worse for me.

ETA. I'm shooting a Torrex (327 IBO) at 70 lbs with 30" draw and 442gr arrow and I'm getting 285 FPS. shooting 4mm Axis with 50gr half outs and 100gr heads. I've got over 13% FOC and speed enough that I can dial out passed 100 yards for target shooting.

Your rig would likely outshoot mine with a similar weight setup, even with the shorter draw.

What’s your draw length? My V3X 29 is slinging 550 grains 273 fps at 72 pounds 29 inches or it was I’ve bumped it up to 82 pounds with the 75# mods and some twists in the cables

They are beefy for sure
