Speed variations?

Just got a Labradar and was playing with my bow. I'm getting 10-15 fps variations shot to shot. I thought there should be more consistency than that. Is there a general route from for an extreme spread with archery?

I tried 2 different bows, '05 switchback, and '18 VERTIX.

Thanks all.

Something is wrong there. Shouldn't be much variation, 3fps maybe .5-1.5 more common in my experience. I'm thinking you have something with the Chrono setup wrong and it's messing with the readings. My recurves I'm within 5 fps and that's without a clicker or anything monitoring my draw length other than me.
 
Is the labradar high enough where your arrow is in the middle of the unit?
Is your offset on the unit 6" or 12" are you the same distance away from the unit every time?
Is your riser in line with the unit?
Is the unit in archery mode?
Are you using the archery mic trigger?

Yea shooting dead level with the middle of the unit . Set to 6", archery mode. Using the piet trigger.

If all that is true and you are running the current firmware I would suspect its the unit and call or email labradar.

The only other thing I would check is all your arrows are the same weight. If they are within 5 grains or so I would suspect the unit.

I will get 10-15 fps variations when I don't follow all the above steps. When I do I'm within 5fps which is probably within the delta of the unit.
 
I don't know that particular unit....

I agree with Billy goat...compounds are inherently more consistent than that....at least with my crony on multiple bows.

There could be issues where I'm shooting in my basement. If the weather holds out, I'll go outside and try it again this evening and see what it tells me. The accuracy on this is supposed to be crazy good so there shouldn't be much for variance from the machine standpoint.

I also concur that more than a few FPS isn’t normal. I’m usually +\-1fps shot to shot and I’m just a dude with a bow and a chrono....nothing special going on in my setup.
