    How do you calculate how fast your bow shoots?

    You have to shoot you bow through a crono to get your speed.

    There is no accurate way to CALCULATE it. That's what Medic was saying. You need to shoot it through a chrono to get an accurate speed. You can get a rough guess by subtracting 30-50' from the IBO rating of the bow, but that is subjuect to a lot of varience depending on what all is on the string and where it's location is in relation to the cams.

    I thought I'd try being concise for a change and give a one word answer. Sorry for the confusion.
