Yewbender, I don't think you have to worry too much. I bet your arrows are faster than an atlatl dart, a spear, or a bowie knife...

My bow is really fast!
I know because I've shot thru a 800+lbs bull elk at 30yrs, a 500+lbs black bear at 17yrds, and 29 whitetails from 6yrds to 37yrds. This is how I like to chrono my bow.

Blackie Schwartz has done this testing under controlled conditions with dozens of high end custom bows over a number of years for Traditional Bowhunter Magazine. He tested every single one with 9 to 1 arrows at 28 inches of draw with fingers and a shooting machine. If a bow ever recorded 200 f.p.s. with fingers I don't recall it. Any time a thread about bow speed is posted here and especially on the "other site" it drives home to me that there are some really fast
chronographs out there.

I chronoed all mine a while back. Nothing scientific but if I remember correctly they were all around +/- 175 fps. About what I expected. All setups shot at about 10 gpp. Still have all those bows and shoot them all. I think nothing less of any of them. Fairly certain that if I do my part they'll all do theirs.

10 gpp, 28" draw is that magic number. Even with a shooting machine. I don't know if wheel bows can do much better.

Chad,
you have to remember that every inch over 28" you gain #10 of energy..

I can't remember where I read it, but I remember reading a report done by a guy where he was getting 202 feet per second with a Border bow at 28" of draw and a 10 gpp arrow, and Blacky put his seal of approval on the test.
