Vortex speed
Got my new vortex. Love this xbow shoots very accurate put some arrows down range. Question: avg speed around 300fps. That is what i am getting out of my chrono. using executioners arrows . That sound about right for this xbow speed.. Also would like to say thank you to munch for the cool mount ...

Re: Vortex speed
Unable to weight them but they have 110 brass insert and 125 FTP on them. Probably a stock string also

Re: Vortex speed
If so, then 300ish is correct. To get 330 fps you need a fff string and 350 gr arrow and a low brace height.medic1 wrote:Unable to weight them but they have 110 brass insert and 125 FTP on them. Probably a stock string also

Re: Vortex speed
Humm. 441. That should be about right. Watch out deer.
Re: Vortex speed
You loose 1 fps for every 5 grain increment over 350 fps and about 10-12 fps with the stock (non fff) string.

Re: Vortex speed
320 using 400 gr arrow and my own Flemish; 325 with endless loop made from Angel Majesty but a bit loud and shaky.

Re: Vortex speed
I was getting in the low 300's with my Vortex until I changed to a different string and put blazers on my arrows and I think I gained about 11 fps at that time. Boo or Vixenmaster can build you an awesome string that will speed your bow up some and probably quietened it down some also. I eventually chronoed some 378 gr. arrows and was getting around in the 320 fps range.medic1 wrote:Got my new vortex. Love this xbow shoots very accurate put some arrows down range.
