Holy Grail...200fps

[Auzoutdoor]

Here is a pic of the latest bow I have made with the silencers and the new string.I also did some speed testing today with differant weight arrows.The lowest was 8.5 grains per pound and I finally got over the target speed of 200fps with 201 being the average speed for 5 shots.My draw is about 28 and the bow reads 64 pound with a hand held scale.200 has always been a sort of "Holy Grail "so I am over the moon with this bow with the looks and the speed but even with a light arrow it is nice to shoot.With arrows 680 grains it shoots 180 so that will make it a great hunting bow.Here is a pic at full draw...................

Good on you mate - well done.  It might be a start toward putting us Aussies on the bow manufacturing map.  It may even give those lads across the big pond a bit of a shake-up.

thats a cool looking reverse handle bow. I used to have an Elburg reverse handle- think it was called a Cheetah or something like that..anyway, it shot sweet too.

Looking good.

Very nice looking bow!

680 at 180 fps is mighty impressive! Get out and put some fur on the ground.

Really like your bow.  You are obviously quite talented.  Of course the real proof is in the performance and it sounds like you've got that all wrapped up as well.  Looks like you've got a great design and with that forward handle it should be very shootable as well.

So when is it for sale???

Very nice design. Looks to be a quiet bow as well. Best of all worlds!
