    2011 PSE Bow Madness, 28 inch draw, 73 pounds, Easton ST epic 340's around 400 - 420 grains, QAD drop away, shooting 285-290, but thats with cat whiskers on the string.

    My girlfriends bow is a 2010 PSE Chaos twin cam at 26 inches, and 35 pounds shooting a 395 grain arrow at 195 FPS. Not to bad for her first bow.

    Years ago (15 of them) I chronoed my 73lb recurve shooting 2216 aluminum arrows weighing In at 560 grains. It came out at 210 fps, that's moving for a traditional bow. I'm still shooting this same recurve but It's loss 15lbs In draw weight, It's wearing out I guess. I haven't chronoed It since that day 15 years ago but I'm guessing It's shooting around 170 fps. I'm now shooting much heavier arrows as well, 704 grains heavy.

    I put 1 arrow through the chrono before I had the bow fully tuned...

    '11 z7x
    28" draw
    60 pounds

    Arrow: Flatline @ 363 (28", 100 grain tip)

    chrono speed was 278 fps. I've since turned it up and have it tuned much better so I'm curious to do it again.
