70 pound @ 28 inch takedown recurve bow. My draw length is 23 inches. (-15 pounds) Total arrow weight is 450 grains +/- 2 grains. Nothing on the string yet. Not a Fast Flite string. How slow will my arrows be? I know they won't be "fast", even for a recurve.
thanks. That's better than I thought it would be. DL is pathetic because I'm deformed. Arms are 4 and 7 inches less than "normal" for an adult my height. Took me 62 years to find a compound bow I can use. Even tho I lose 2.5 pounds an inch draw weight, I still want to try a conventional bow. I bought a D&Q metal riser takedown recurve with a 70 pound draw to compensate for my short draw length. I have my compound (Diamond Razor Edge) maxed out at 62.5 pounds, ("60 pound" limbs) according to the scale. I'm thinking of updating/upgrading to a newer Diamond compound that goes to "70 pounds" (+/- 2.5 pounds?) at my DL, and work my way to being able to pull 70 pounds.
I me be off by some and that would likely be the top end of speed for you. Probably in reality it would be 155 fps. give or take
