    Question Is a 29" Envy faster than a 29" GTO?

    We're not talking letoff, we're talking speed. Are the rumors true?

    Yes, that's why they called it Envy.

    I don't know about rumors but my experience with three of them is they can't run with the big dog(Envy). Envy wins by about 5 fps plus or minus 1 fps.

    I'm hardly worried about who's is faster anyway,... the day I can pull back a 30" drw 70lber on a daily basis again will be the day I start worrying about speed... right now Im working on a 28" drw and 60lbs.. lol

    I just chronoed my Envy with new Gold Tip arrows at 371gr and a new SSS string set and here are the results:at 71.2lb maxed out (1/4 turn back from bottomed on the limbs) resulted in 321fps turned back to 66lb resulted in 309fps my draw length is set at 28".I also chronoed my new Synergy at 28" 60lb DW and new Gold Tip arrows at 335gr and the results were similarly impressive with 306fps-- these Elite bows are without a doubt the fastest most forgiving speed bows I've ever owned in 30 years of archery-- deadly accurate .Oh yah-- the the est were done on 8 shot strings over the chrono.
