How fast does your bow shoot?

Post by just a feed boy »

I thought this topic might me useful to people using a varizone scope and don't have acess to a chrono.

I have a new exocett 200lb and the right stuff package, with the gt carbon arrows that came with it, wasp broadheads, standard string that came with, it shoots 305fps as measured by an Oehler 35p double screen chrono. The string is on rearward line (closest to the shooters eye) on the rail. I was guessing that the bow was shooting faster but the chrono doesn't lie, now my scope is very close to bullseyes all the way out to 50 yds... I hope this can help someone.

Let's see what every one else is shooting
