    The 2009 Ross Cardiac 31 setup:
    29" DL, 61# DW, 398.6 grain arrow. 2 speed nocks. IBO tested @ 299fps

    chrono: 265 fps

    The 2010 Quest Smoke setup
    29" DL, 66# DW, 398.6 grain arrow. G5 speed stud. IBO tested @ 309fps

    chrono: 280fps

    Each bow put a dozen arrows through the chrono and those numbers are the average. Not as fast as I hoped but not as slow as I thought. I'm happy. :nana:

    Very cool! Thanks for sharing. I always wonder about IBO vs Real World.

    Very nice! Those are certainly respectable speeds for any hunting bow. Should get the job done this fall. :tu:

    next question... can you put a dozen arrows in a saucer at 20 yards... :) Sounds like a great setup! Good luck!
