Most FPS you have seen a Trad bow shoot

[buckhuck]

Ok, here goes.  Curious to see what everyone has seen.

[Orion]

At the trad shoots I attend, most folks don't pay much attention to fps.  Extremely rare to see a chronograph.  I'm thankful for that.

[Old York]

My bow shoots about 162 GTQ/sec.

GTQ = gets there quick.

[James Wrenn]

The fastest I have personaly shot one was 226 but have seen 240 on my crony from a long draw buddy.Shooting arrows under 7gns of course.

 

[Shawn Leonard]

I have owned a few bows that would do over 200fps. with a 28" draw and around 8gpp. Shawn

My 50# at 28 will loose them at 179 at my 29.5 draw. Thats a 615gr arrow.

[Greg in Delton MI]

In the past when I chronoed bows. I had a 67# Heritage 64" longbow, 2115 drawn 29" 211 5 times consecitivly and witnessed by an astounded proshop owner, 247fps with a 80+ Proline compound riser with Dickie Roberts recurve limbs again with 2115's

[Dave2old]

This discussion is meaningless unless we specify arrow weight.

[Van/TX]

You can shoot 250 with a trad bow @ 5 grains per pound.  Sounds like a .22 rimfire and bow won't last long but you can do it if you want to    ...Van

[James Wrenn]

Yeah they are not too pleasant to shoot at 5 gns either Van.  Or none I have tried it with were.  :D

[Brian Krebs]

I shot a bow ( Bear Kodiak) that was 74 pounds at my draw; with a 2216 31 inch long arrow; 5 inch feather fletch with an insert and a 125 grain point .... and it flew at 219 on average of 3 shots.

[Arwin]

I had a 56@28 Predator that shot a 28 3/4 inch 2216 with 145 up front at 176 fps. Thats pretty good considering I draw a smidge over 27 and 2216's are in the neighborhood of 12 grains per inch.

[Yellow Dog]

I have an A&H ACS, 62" limbs on a 16" RC riser that makes a 64" bow 50@30. With 460gr Goldtips, 9.2gr per pound, I consistently get 205 with my 30" draw.

[cliff77]

My Elite hits 215fps using easton 500's at 7.3gpi with a 30" draw. Gives me point on at 65yds.

[Stringslap16]

I can't say IBO spec is the most logical way to test a trad boy as it wont last long at those specs 70# at 28", 350 grain arrow.  

But the new Belcher bows SSR limbs averaged 255 fps.  Can't wait to see what it can do at 53#ish and at least a 450 grains. I think it will be even more smokin on a Monster Bows Aluminum Riser.
