8.38gpp off of a 65# bow!

There are actually quite a few bows out there that will top 200fps.

EXCELLENT job, Rick!

Bisch

Just wondering if I missed something...I know a lot of speeds are shown at 9gpp or 10gpp so my base for comparison will be slower since this is 8.38 gpp, but seems like the bow is still inherently really quick. 8.38 gpp is still 8.38gpo regardless if it's 45# or 65#

For the record, I believe Rick's numbers (hope it didn't come across otherwise). Just wondering about id the design/materials made a difference.

Thanks guys.

Jeff, what Bisch said, and no offense taken.
I've actually had a couple of recurves that shot over 250fps, and one over 260, but they were both near 100# in draw weight, and I was only shooting 6gpp arrows.

Rick

EDIT:

Excuse me. The one that shot over 260 was only 5 gpp.

Wow, awesome job Rick!

Rick, I've been giving this a lot of thought, and I've decided that I want that riser back now.



ha, ha, ha.

kidding of course. That baby is YOUR creation now. What a bow. Not sure I want to pull it to my 31.5" draw length, but if I could, it looks like it was flat-out smoke an arrow.

Again, wonderful job.

[RickBarbee]

LOL John, not a chance Bro.

With the limb pad angle & resulting preload there of, she just starts to stack some at my draw. I bet it would be over 70# at your draw, and yep, it would smoke an arrow real good as long as the limbs didn't break.

[Limbwalker]

Yea, no doubt! My 40# carbon/wood's would be close to 60# at my draw on that bow! Yikes!

[triffnix]

holy smokes!
Absolutely stunning and great work!
The bow looks very nice and it seems to be smoking fast!

Again great job and thanks for sharing!
