Well, even though I'm nearly 56, this old dog learned something this weekend. I can't release an arrow nearly as cleanly or consistently with my fingers as I can release a bullet from a centerfire rifle! I chronied several different times this weekend, and got different results each time. The arrows were still hitting where they were supposed to hit, but the chrony gave me different results every time. Each time was at a different time of day, so the light was different each time. Suffice it to say, I have no idea how fast this bow is shooting. I've gotten results between 140 and 190 fps with arrows weighing between 560 and 650 grains. Soooooo, my conclusion is that my time is better spent in the woods with this bow than it is shooting arrows through a chronograph!
I am still tickled with this bow, and believe anyone who gets a bow from Steve will be extremely satisfied...except for they probably won't be extremely satisfied with just one!
