Is 190fps @ 9gr/lb "fast"?

That's way faster than anything I shoot! Mine is silent though. For me that is more important. A little thump instead of a BOING!

Thanks for the replies guys, appreciate it! Mike what is the highest poundage you could do in a 3 piece bolt down...is 65# doable?

My border 70# limbs shoot a 704gr arrow at 195fps........with a 26" draw.

I'm shooting a one piece long bow, 13.25 gr/lb and getting around 165 fps. With 11.3 gr/lb it bumps up to about 175 fps. Personally, I'm quite pleased with that.

I'm shooting a 41# ASL with 675 grain arrows at 137 fps.  It'll do over 160fps at 10gpp, but I'll take the rainbow trajectory in favor of penetration.  I'm only comfortable at 20 yards max anyway.

Clint, I've heard good things with regards to performance and Border Bows...that sounds like a smoking fast setup you have! What arrows are you using with that setup?

I'm with you guys on the shootability thing too though...no point missing what you're aiming at!

Yep we can do 65 but not higher.  It's to hard to hit the high weights and we end up with limbs that are very hard to sell.
