Hi All,  For a 550 gr arrow I think 150fps sounds a little above average, especially for a short draw.  Ron

No idea. Don't own a chrono. I will flight shoot new bows. I can basically tell if a bow is good enough for the woods fairly early. Jawge

AMEN!  It's the feel and the eye......That's all you need to know. I hope I don't anger anyone...HONESTLY, I do not mean to, BUT, THIS IS primitive archery.......

OK...I will shut up now ::)

God Bless

That sounds very good to me if you are shooting a hunting weight arrow, Never have cono many but most of the ones I did were about 3 times the draw weight,I have a short draw and seem the longer draws do a little better. :)

ive only ran one bow thru a chrono(the 1st i ever made)
it was 3 times the draw weight

but i much prefer to shoot them and check distance/cast over "how fast" some techie piece of equipment says it is
after all that speed is directly off the bow and not how fast it moving when it hits its target down range

i to like doing the distnace/cast check over chrono for the same reason that okie mentioned
its "primitive",well that and i am too damn cheap to go buy a chrono or spend money to use the one at the local "pay range"
