Real hunting weight arrow speeds

[Super 91]

519 arrow at 284. Very pleased with those numbers. That is .653 slugs of momentum. That's gonna hurt.....but not more than a few seconds....LOL

Which App is that? The one i've been using and has been accurate with our local shops chrono is the Back Country Calculator which when inputting those same numbers shows a 346 IBO? Either way it's showing well above IBO, I've never really checked very many online calculators, i guess some must use different parameters.

I find it a good happy medium and matches fairly well when running the numbers long hand.

96 grains over IBO arrow weight = -32 fps
28” draw = -20 fps
Weight on string -4 fps

Total is - 56 fps

Add that to 296 fps chrono readings = 352 IBO

482gr, 278fps. 70# centergy hybrid, 29” draw. If I could find 80# limbs I would rather do that than find a new bow...

your setup is perfectly fine and I wouldn’t change it up unless you find a bow you can shoot more accurately.

Most of you are getting really nice arrow speeds with heavier arrows. When I first got it my Spyder 34 at 72 lbs with a 28" draw length shot my GT XT Hunters (412 grains) at 292 fps. I've since backed off the poundage a bit to slow it down to the 284 fps range. I like the way it shoots at that speed.

540g @ 270fps ish
Maxed out 70# Hoyt Helix - 29.5” draw

Just got my setup chronoed. PSE Evolve 31 26.5” 60lbs 500gr FMJ at 237fps. I figured I was around 250 so not gonna cry when I’ve got a telephone pole flying through the air with a sharp pointy thing on the end.

Halon 28.5”, 70lbs

496 gr Valkyrie (225gr heads)

269 f/s

My setup is pretty slow this year but it's really quiet, hitting hard and flying good so no complaints. Bowtech realm X 28' draw 72lbs on comfort, black eagle 300 deep impacts with the FOCOS (100 gn) blazer 3 vane coming in at 535 grains and a blazing 250 FPS! Not fast but defintely kill any bull I can hit. I will be shooting QAD exodus heads again this year.

Was 265 with the 85% mods

Dang, that makes quite a difference. I new it would make it faster, just didn’t realize it would be that much!

I didn’t think it would make much of a difference honestly. I switched because I like a little more holding weight. Makes me focus more therefore my pin float is greatly reduced

 

[Usi05]

Went with the Easton Axis 6mm for a total arrow weight of 353 before adding 125 grain tip.

Running a 27.5" draw at 66#'s but will max out at 70-71 and hope to around 250FPS for both whitetail and elk.

This thread was helpful!

Man, if those are real honest-to-God numbers, I need to buy an Evolve.
