What are your arrow speeds M380

Post by Farmer »

Just wondering what speeds people are getting with their 380s . Dusted off my old Chrony and flung some arrows

2219 - 20 inch / with 100 grain point 454 grains-- 364 fps

2219 - 20 inch / wiyh 150 grain point 506 grains -- 353 fps

The arrows that came with the bow

Diablo's i think

18 inch 150 grain fp -- 405 grains --- 375 fps

Seems fast to me , considering the rated speeds are with 350 grain arrows ..
Hope my chrony is not in need of calibration .

My 380 is getting avg. of 362 FPS with 398 gr. arrows. As a result, the Leupold Crossbones match's up perfectly with the crosshairs and chevrons out to 60 yds. Have my speed dial set at 360 FPS. although the dial is not actual speed, rather a good starting point for set-up. :wink: The Tom I took at 52 yds. a few days back was right on the money with the 50 yd. mark on the scope.
I sent Lou some 402 gr. with a 100 gr. head if he uses those, he should see around 360 FPS average. However, remember all bows shoot a slightly different speed. Some up to 5 or 10 FPS different. I tested a few. Also brace height will change a lot of speed depending on what you set it at.

I don't have a chrono but I know that by the time I press the trigger and the arrow hit the target I can say "W0W"
