Chrono'd my bow...

[clayg08]

8.7x28=243.6. + 100gr tip. +11gr insert. + 15gr fletchings +about 10gr wrap. + 13gr nock = 392.6 ish. You lose about 3 fps for every 10 grains over 350, and 10 fps for every inch under 30.

So you are giving up about 24 FPS in arrows and draw length. Any other junk on the string like the monkey tails will slow it down also. So 285 might be on the slower side, it is probably the best you will get without changing something.

well said sir. you're a pretty smart feller

I went and Chrono'd my Mathews Z7 extreme this morning. 29" Draw and 70.7lbs draw weight. Im shooting a 28" easton bloodline and i chrono'd at 285... Seems kind of slow doesnt it?

oh man dont feel bad. i shoot a z7x @ 28" dl x 61# dw and get a screaming 260 fps out of it.

your speeds are comparable to my buddy shooting almost the same set-up you are. they don't make the best speed but sure shoot well.

Pretty fast single cams. I have read dual cams are faster pound for pound but not as smooth as singles and that each type has its own advantages is this true?

The single cams are smoother, and require very little tuning and end up being a great shooting bow. The dual cams are faster, tend to have a little more recoil, and require tuning on a regular basis in my experience. Both are great set ups, it just depends on whether or not you have the time to tune your bow regularly. I personally enjoy knowing that my bow is going to shoot well every time that I take it out of the case, so I choose to give up a little speed for consistency

Hey Dan did you mean 390 grain arrows?
