FT. # calculator FYI

[SEMO_HUNTER]

Found this foot pound calculator online, just thought I might share. Easton does the work for you, nice! My setup is producing 79 ft. # of energy, enough to take down a Buffalo. Sweet, don't have anything around here bigger than a whitetail so I guess I'm "over gunned" as far as my bow and arrow are concerned? I'd rather be packing too much heat rather than not enough, cause a complete pass through is all I'm gonna get, it just don't get any better than that.

Thanks SEMO.  I bookmarked that.  Out of curiosity, if you don't mind me asking, how are you making 79 ft. #?  I shoot 700 grain wood arrows out of an 80# longbow, looks like I'd have to shoot better than 225'/sec to make 79 ft. #s.  Your bow must be scary fast.

That is some serious numbers..


Im shooting a 57@28 Kohannah Hunter

600gr Carbons

10 Strand String with wool silencers

traveling at 190fps and beyond silent..

and producing 48.11

Cant wait until Sept 7th..

That's pretty cool. Not sure how accurate the "game guide " portion of that is tho.  But I sure like the calculator.  Thanks for that

I would be interested to know the setup that produced 79# KE also. You would have to have a 1250gr arrow at 170fps to get that high.

And the "Game Guide" is a joke! My setup only produces 35 ft/lbs KE and It is a killing machine. No, I would not hunt Cape Buffalo or Asian Buffalo, but would not hesitate to hunt elk, moose, or bear with it. I have shot a 700#kudu with it.

According to that, a  800 grain arrow at 200 fps will be at 71 ft pds.

I would love to see the bow that can shoot an 800gr arrow at 200fps!

pretty cool says im getting 37.46 ft#...setup is a 476 gr easton poweflight 400 at 29.75" shooting a muzzy phantom 100gr for a total weight of 576 gr. outta a 55# recurve shooting roughly 171-170 fps...i think the calculator is cool but not the game choice...in my setup i have over 10gr/lbs. and completely comfortable shooting at--er i mean hunting--elk, deer and bear also. just have to do my part and hit it where it counts
