Wanna help me out with my speed?
242fps
26 inch draw
54#
80% LO
6 inch brace
342 grain arrow.
But, I shoot at around 510 grain arrow. How fast do you think this thing would fly? Got a guess at what my KE and all that good stuff would be?

Not to hijack this thread but do you want to post a little refresher on virtual mass Sylvan? What would be an average figure for a moderate/typical setup on one of today's bows?

I think of virtual mass as the equivalent amount of mass that is accelerated if you were to dry fire the bow. Its kind of the equivalent of all the wasted energy expressed in terms of added weight to be accelerated. When you shoot an arrow it takes energy to accelerate the mass of the arrow plus the virtual mass.
Typically modern compounds will run 100 to 150 grains of virtual mass and of course the lower the better. Here are some values taken from the last 3 issues of Bowhunting World.
Mathews Outback - 91-98 grains
PSE Vengeance - 150-156 grains
High Country TSSR Carbon - 140 - 155 grains

what, heavier arrow, slower speed, more momentum? more ke? ohmygawad. do people believe yet?
