what does flat out smokes an arrow mean!!!

[Real Buckmaster]

Seems like a lot of bows just flat out smokes an arrow. lb for lb Morrisons are the quickest bows I shot.

[Steelhead]

Yaa,Morrisons flat out smoke an arrow.

I dont know where that phrase got started.But it has a nice ring to it.So its popular to use desribing a fast bow.

I confess.I have said it.

[benny]

I agree. Morrisons are fast and quiet.

I have both Morrison carbon foam and A&H carbon bamboo they both smoke arrows, I use 8 strand strings super quiet.

Black Swan bows smoke arrows.

My Dwyer Endeavor smokes an arrow.

[Crash]

I think it is supposed to offer images of an arrow traveling so fast that the fletching catches fire while in flight.  Seems to be a positive connotation.  Course, it is relative.  If you have been shooting 130 fps and shoot a bow that is 160 fps, then it flat out smokes an arrow.  I see it alot when people are selling bows, that way, you don't have to quantify the actual speed.

Bought a 54" Super Shrew Deluxe off here that was advertised that way,and they were right,it does.

Well,..... The fletching on my arrows is still warm when I go to pull them out of the target after shooting them out of my Daala, does that count as fast enuf???

"Flat out smokes" is at the upper end, followed by "really spits them out."

By the time you get down to "very forgiving" it's a bow that allows you to reach out and manually correct the arrow in the early stages of flight.

Say, maybe that's how they make carbon arrows?  Shoot a cedar out of a Morrison?            

[FerretWYO]

I guess you will have to ask the each person who says it.

[SEMO_HUNTER]

Well my bow will flat out lob a woodie, and yes Charlie it is very forgiving.

At what speed does the cedar smoke and turn to carbon     :

I reccomend using fire retardant on the fletch if you shoot an Eaglewing. You might find out what flat out smokes an arrow means !!!!!  
           

God bless you all, Steve

[vtmtnman]

Every bow flat out smokes when you're selling it..just like they all been shot very little or they hate to do this.    

That being said Morrisons are decently fast.My ILF recurve will huck a 600+ grain surewood with some good authority.  

[sticbow]

My griffins will flat out git it down there!!!  

[magnus]

Every year at our first bonfire. I light it with a flaming arrow. That is the the only time I get an arrow to smoke.

Kids DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME! I am a trained professional.

Make sure you check all your bows with a scale. Don't go by what's writen in the bow for weight. I think all the highend bows are about the same.

I smoked an arrow once, didn't do anything for me. Then again I didn't inhale.
