I assume you are talking spine. If tuned correctly, weight should be the only factor TF and yes generally lower spine is heavier but not always. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Real_TCIII Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Ah man that so slowSent from my SM-G935V using TapatalkIt's not that slow. IBO speeds are nonsense, extremely hard to achieve. Don't get caught up 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marion Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 It's not that slow. IBO speeds are nonsense, extremely hard to achieve. Don't get caught upTrue. It still is deathly quiet, flat shooting and kills em dead. Not to mention soft in the hand and deadly accurateSent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BizCT Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 I shoot 238fps. I can hold my draw from 6am - 8am. I'm not chasing speed unless i go out west and need to shoot long distances. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletch Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 My bow chrono'd 305 from the bow tester I bought it from. I figure with my longer arrows it is probably shooting 280 or so. So about 100fps faster than the bow I used 15 years ago and that bow killed deer too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda kills the theory compounds are way harder than crossbows. Maybe just for some folks....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 never bothered with knowing speed. figure a well tuned bow's speed is as good as it'll be whether you like it or not. now that my arrow saw has come in, straightness will be easier to work on without bugging a local shop. spin it and cut wobbly end (run out) a little at a time on whichever end needs it. now a .006" straight arrow is a .002" straight arrow for less money. i square shafts and inserts with a tool. idc who you are a saw can't cut them perfectly square. nock end squared too. i weigh them and separate them too with a frankfort arsenal digital scale. points and heads weighed too. i don't spine arrows but tune arrow by shooting it. while doing so to get POI and all that good assuming i can by doing things like turning nock. after i've exhausted that effort and butchered a plumb bob string i mark a line for "up" on the arrows so that when i fletch them i'm keeping the orientation. doesn't make a different with mechanicals but makes well spinning fixed blade heads fly well.

Not much difference with xbow or compound. Only once I had a bow buck out range. 50-60 yards walking thru that i had to pass. Otherwise every other doe or buck I’ve seen during archery was a makeable shotSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was lucky to see a deer every few days and rifle hunted. Pop Blinds were not even thought of back then and tree stands were just starting. So getting bow close to a skittish Dack deer on the ground was rough. I started hunted southern-tier soon after and just the amount of deer and occurrences sped up the curve.
