    Seeing the posts recently about arrow weight I'm seeing alot of heavy hitters out there. Wondering what you guys are getting for ke/fps. I'll start, I'm shooting 440 gr at 299.98 fps for 87.89 lb/ft ke.

    Not enough to bust through a shoulder blade and get full penetration. Have I ever mentioned how much I miss my 2219 aluminums?

    I like my arrows how I like my women, slow and heavy...wait that's not true, but I do like a slow and heavy hunting arrow. Can I get a little momentum?

    70.4.

    For anybody that is bored awhile ago I made this lame and simple spread sheet that calculates a lot of what we as hunters are curious about with out set ups (KE, Momentum, FOC, FPS).

    Yep, 315 crono is what it averaged. Archers advantage sight tape paperwork is a mess over here.

    Tried an app that registered 296 fps & 83 ke.

    Pretty sure the arrow is 431 out the door.

    Not a math major but hitting the sweet spot at 70 yards.
