So how fast is your bow? What is the real world speed of your arrows VS the IBO? I was curious about this and set up my chronometer to find out
Well I knew it would not be IBO speed, but damn!
So my bow (PSE bow madness) was advertised with a ~320 FPS IBO speed. I know that means 70# weight, 30" draw, 350grain arrow and a stripped down bow. My setup is 60# weight, 30" draw and I am using 400 grain arrows+tip, have a d loop and a peep on the string.
I am measuring 275.1 FPS as a ten shot average speed. I had the chrony about 3 feet downrange when collecting the data. What else could be sucking up speed? I read on the internet, so it must be true, that the whisker biscuit can rob 7 - 10 FPS.
Any thoughts? other than PSE sucks
I am quite happy with the bow, so it is not a big deal but I was expecting to be a bit closer to 300 FPS real world speed.
