Went to a local indoor 3D shoot today and finally got to shoot a few thru the chrono...

58" carbon/foam Evo recurve
51@28, I draw 29"...520 grain arrow...195 fps average (195,194,197)

The lighting in the building wasn't the best...so those numbers may be a few fps low

I am not a speed junkie, just curious what the numbers were...as I get alot of comments of how fast this bow is.

Just thought some may be interested in my non-scientific test.
I have some other bows and am curious how they do.

I believe it. I also draw close to 29 and while I've never chrono'd it, my 64" LB SXT carbon/foam feels and looks like its going mach1. Got to be the fastest bow I own.

That's smoking fast! I need to chrono my 61lb carbon/foam Nitro and see what its doing. It's got to be the fastest longbow I've owned!

If you get a chance, I would love to see how your 52@28 nitro limbs do...I too have a nitro, 60" 51@28 carbon foam, and have yet to test it.

I just tried to chrono my 61# limbs but my chrono is junk! I need the light kit for it, the only time I can get it to semi work is outside in natural light.

Man that is an awesome looking bow!

i have tested quite a few bows and i can honestly say that with my crude tests and my chrono the Zipper is at the top. At 9 grains per pound the Zipper will do 200+ all day long (foam no carbon). Not sure what bill does with those limbs but....fastest i have tested.

Thanks for this post, you convinced me to hold on to mine and pull it off the classified ad's

I finally shot my Nitro that's 61@28 through the chrono at Bill & Tracey's this weekend! With a 543 grain arrow it shot 193,191,192!!! This is by far the fastest longbow I've shot!!

Fast and good looking to....that's a keeper....lol!

Great numbers from your Nitro Logan...thanks for sharing that.
Did you shoot the 51@28 limbs too?

Longbowlogan · « **Reply #11 on:** February 25, 2013, 02:57:00 PM »

I didn't have my 52# limbs with me or I would have chronoed them!

Jake, I don't know anything about chronie's but that bow is sure easy on the eyes.

A zipper is a very fast bow, and they are shooters to boot! It is hard to beat a zipper.
