    I wish I had a Chrono I could borrow just so I could see how slow I am going, I shoot Cabela carbon Stalker extremes 340 spine. Finished arrow weight is 435, 100 grain Exodus, and I am shooting them from an infinite edge at 64 pnds. I know they are slow comparitively.

    I shoot an arrow setup right around 550 grain, 30" fmj with a 125 grain head. Been shooting stipfire maxx mixed in with a few others, not sure what I'll be shooting this year. Last time I checked the specs bow was set at 74# and shooting 274 fps.

    I shoot a slow and heavy-ish (going heavier) arrow...but more often than not after a shot I'm plucking from the ground it is stuck in after being painted red. :)

    300 spine GT Velocity 388 grains. Broadheads will be Slick Trick Vipers and Nukes. When I get a new bow I should be pushing about 290-295 fps but I would be pleased with 280 fps, it really depends on the bow I choose.
