29"......loop......SAP hooded peep.

I'm blown away they can get these kinda speeds out of these bows.

This was with my target arrow.......327gr.

That chrono is broke. Thats damn good at 62, now you have my wheels turning.

Jeff If I may what is your draw length?

How hard is that bow to pull back at what letoff?

I am asking because I pulled back Jfergus Hoyt bow at 68lbs and holy Beep that thing almost killed me and the thing weighed a ton.

Unbelievable! I'm shooting about the same draw weight and DL - getting 260 fps. Arrow weight is a little over 400 grains, but still . . . . . . . I'll bet you could get close to 300 fps with my arrows.

If I calculated correct, that is about 79# KE. That is awesome.

Have you checked it with a hunting arrow and if so,what was the weight/speed?

Two things....

I will check the hunting arrow speed, tomorrow.

I will be inquiring about a 50-60# bow for 2009. It's too fast for what I need it for. I may even check into some 50-60# limbs, this year.

Too bad you have to shoot such a light arrow. [&:]

I'd be curious to see what my 434 grain arrows came out of it at.
