Agrees with Kirk on all points. Its all irrelevant unless the tests are fully controlled and the human factor removed. That is with this exception. It is relevant to the individual shooter doing the testing with his bows.

Sure it's irrelevant but also fun! And a great way to learn more about our equipment.

 Without saying what I'm shooting it's 50#'s at 27", 650 gr. arrow and 168 fps.

I agree with Kirk and Steve about the testing parameters not being equal, but on the other hand the fact is we are not shooting the bows from a shooting machine. The human element does factor in somewhat I should think.

I always shoot multiple shots through my chrono, when I get within 1 fps on multiple shots I figure I'm doing it consistently enough..

I figured the Centaur would be faster too, perhaps I'm not drawing to 28"? I had a 30" draw with wheelie and release aid..

All of these bows have 2 tied on nock points, I shoot 3 under, and they have string silencers.

I was mostly impressd that the hybrids were much faster than the recurve which was  4-5 ppounds heavier draw weight.
