    Shooting a Bowtech Reign 6, 61#, 30”dl, flip disk is on the performance side & a 381gr Zombie Slayer arrow. Set up my chrony today & I’m only getting 305fps. Chrony is 3’ in front of bow, string has d-loop, small cat whiskers & 1/4” peep. Does this seem about right? It seems kind slow.

    According to online calculators, you should be at about 307 fps. I would say 305 is right!

    Thanks guys. I got to shoot today out to 40yrds, which is all I can get in my back yard, but this thing is shooting lights out. I love the speed & accuracy of this thing.

    I shoot an older bowtech with a 31.5” DL @ 62lbs with a little heavier arrow & I’m right around 310 so I’d say your spot on.
