Bowtech question
How is it that my 2003 Bowtech Pro 40 Dually's birth certificate is 71.5 lbs 29" 350 gr. 319 fps, and the 2003 Bowtech Black Knight Im thinking of buying has a birth certificate
of 61.1 lbs 29" 300gr 319 fps. these are both tested at just under 5 gr per pound, I would think the Black Knight should have a better speed rating than that. It seems it would be out of Bowtech specs.

RE: Bowtech question
Its a 2003 tall brace height, but that still seems slow. Im reading the speed chart in my 2003 manual for 29" 70 lb IBO and it says 328-336 but then I dowload the 2003 manual off the Bowtech site and the speeds say 323-331 so they must have reduced the speed rating.

RE: Bowtech question
In 03 the BK II was offered in short and tall brace. The short brace IBO speed was at 29" draw. The tall brace at 30". The short brace only went to 29", the tall to 30". The IBO speeds were backed off a bit last year. But then, how many 60# bows shoot 319?

RE: Bowtech question
I know 319 is fast but we are talking a 300 gr arrow, its still 5 gr per pound, I would bet most 60 lb 29" 2003 Patriot Duallys would do this or better. Thats 319 fps with a 300 gr arrow.
