moog5050 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 wow didn’t mean to start a ruckus. I am sure it’s a fast bow. My 346 ibo rated bow only shoots em mid 270s at 28.25” DL and 520g arrow, at least according to my chrono. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was trying to tell him these new speed bows are nasty with a 350 ibo and the 75% rock mods its adds another 5 to 7fps and at 72 pound draw weight and 29 inches with a 418gr arrow its fast I could of gotten it faster but I like having the 400gr arrows and 320 is fast enough for me.. sorry to the op for messing the thread up Edited September 20, 2019 by silent death Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisw Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Spitfire Maxx. I've shot and killed with a lot of broadheads but keep coming back to the spitfires.Sent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sodfather Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 I owned a halon 6 maxed out at #70 shooting axis 400’s with a 28.5” draw length and could only get it up to 295. I also couldn’t wait to get rid of that thing , every broadhead I’ve tried arrows flew funny. Also needed a back bar for proper balance cause Mathews are notoriously top heavy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowmanMike Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 I am shooting montecs this year. And bow speeds are a finicky issue,depends on the chronograph and other factors. Most ibo speeds are inflated,so the real speeds are a lot less than what you would think. IMO 320 fps to 290 does not make much of a difference in the real world. Barely 10%.

nyslowhand Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 ^^^ and by mfgers using a sled with a mechanical release mechanism in a lab to determine advertised performance specs.All while using each specific bows MAX draw wgt and lightest arrows. Can't say never, but very rarely will a hunter ever achieve advertised specs. Like others have said, so what... ! Wonder if Saxton Pope or Fred Bear gave a $hit about this..? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
