I got some 160 grain heads from 3Rivers and added one 5 grain BB inside before I attached them to the shafts. This brings them up to the 165 grains of the braodheads that I made. Time to shoot through the chronograph I was pretty nervous. I drew back and lined up with the hole in the chrono.  

 

I released and I couldn't believe my eyes!!![|)] I went right through the...........................................................................

opening of the chrono.  

 

I was pretty consistent. All the shots were plus or minus 5 feet per second. I am shooting 43 pounds and my arrow weight is 550 grains and with a speed of 142, that means that I am only developing 25 foot pounds of KE. I hope this is enough

After I finished with the chrono, I pinned up a target and shot 30 arrows at 6 yards (inside the "Man Room") I was pleased with how I did since this was my first shooting session with the new setup. The red ring is 6 inches across

 

this was my best group.

 

I can't wait for the snow to melt so I can practice out to 15 yards.

No. I made it myself back in 1988.
