Here is some of Blacky's tests...Keep in mind under the conditions he uses every foot/sec is 1% in horsepower so there is a big spread between the best and worse..

There aren't any Mulaney tests available other then the few bowyers have published.. He's done a jillion you'll never see.....O.L.

I just ordered one from JD, at whisperstikbows.com,

What I ordered because of the lower poundage I was going with (45#) it has a bamboo core with hickory overlay, I have heard that the combination of the two making the limbs very fast.

The last recurve bow I had was a 43# @28.  I had a 410 gr arrow setup with it with 186 FPS.  Probably because my draw length is 29" that also was a whisperstik, this will be my 3 rd whisperstik.

Now I would suspect my new bow I will get about 190 fps with the same arrow, but I am wanting to use a 500 gr arrow setup.

By the way starting price for a recurve $495.00 give him a call.  Doesn't cost anything to talk to to him.  He has about 6 to 8 weeks waiting time.

Mine will be here about end of November
