Bow and arrow you shoot? Actual speed?

[ftothfadd]

Hi guys/gals,

I'm curious what bow and arrow do you shoot in the 2015 season. I also would love to know, if you actually measured it, the arrow speeds you get.
Starting with me:
HoytCS turbo ZT, DL 29, bottoms out at 70.5# (sadly it is not available with 80# limbs. Anyone knows why?)
Easton FMJ 480 grain finished at 286 FPS

 

[Rucker61]

Bowtech Carbon Knight, 64 lbs, 437 gr Injexion, 280 FPS.

 

[charvey9]

Hoyt Carbon Spyder Turbo ZT, 28.5" DL, 71#. Shooting a 456gr 330 FMJ Injexion at 292 fps over my chrono.

Hoyt Carbon Spyder 30, 28.5" DL, 72#. Shoots the same 330 FMJ Injexion at 282.

I don't know if Hoyt officially commented on the turbo only being offered in the 70# limbs, but the speculation was the carbon riser must have had durability issues with the turbo cam.

Mathews no cam, 72# 29.5". Shooting a 340 FMJ .

 

[PathFinder]

Hoyt Carbon Spyder ZT Turbo 70# 27" DL. 410 gr VAP at 295.
Went from a Matthew Chill R 73# 27", same arrow @ 248.
Before that Bowtech Insanity CPX 60# 27", same again at 275.
My buddy tried to get the turbo in the Nitrum w/80lb limbs and they wouldn't let him.

Bow: 2013 Bear Motive 6
DL: 28.5” @ 70#’s
Arrow: Gold Tip XT Hunter 340, with target tip (28.5” shaft)

Speed tested with a Pro Chrono digital at 307 FPS.

This was my first bow, and I must say I am very happy with it. In 2014 I tested a new Mathews Creed XS at a local bow shop. I shot a few arrows with the Matthews, and then a few with my Bear. The Bear was noticeably quieter.

2012 Strother Wrath,
70lb 28"dl 436 grain VAP at 270fps

Seems slow compared to the rest of you guys.....

2014 Prime Alloy with 2015 cams. Pulling 72# with high let off 29" cams shooting 435 grain arrow at 290 fps

 

[El Gavilan]

Elite Gt-500
29inch draw 70lb
445g Axis @ 285fps

 

[StrutNut]

2002 Hoyt Cybertech, 28.5 inches of camo Easton Axis with 100 gr tips. 439 weight traveling at a mind blowing 268 fps. It shoots straight and is very quiet and I get pass through's on every shot so I am not really worried about going faster or heavier at this time. Spending any extra cash on boat stuff and firearms. The archery gear can wait as I really like this set up.

There's already a several page thread covering all this.

Thank you for the comment. ;-)
If only you could link the thread...

Also does anyone know what Aaron Snyder shoots this year?
In some podcast, I have heard he had tried 18 or so bows, I am curious what he settled with after that.
It is interesting how close most the bows listed here come in their actual speed.

Ya, but I'm sure you could find it as fast as I could, as I'd have to do the same search that you'd have to do.

I shoot an OK Archery smoke and an OK archery custom absolute 34.. Both set around 73 pounds. I am currently using the new OK archery Absolute 19 shafts, fairly light setup the absolute 34 is in the low 300's with a 28.5 draw length and My smoke is at 309fps I will likely add some more arrow weight and have them down around 290FPS

 

[westrnwild]

Elite energy 32. 28.5 draw length. 82 draw weight. Easton Axis with inserts 450 gr...297 FPS
