    Question Do these speeds sound correct

    For the first time I shot some arrows over my chrono. Do these numbers sound slow to you? Or are they about correct?

    Shot 2 - 277.1 fps
    Shot 3 - 274.3 fps
    Shot 4 - 276.4 fps
    Shot 5 - 278.2 fps

    Carbon Express Piledrivers with 50gr brass inserts and 100gr tips. Actual weight measured at 466.7 grain average of 5 arrows.

    My Pulse at 67/28 (28.25 measured)
    382gr arrow did 301 fps.
    A 413gr arrow should be around 288-290 fps.
    Where is your peak DW hitting?

    As best I can tell on my draw board I am about 6-7" into the draw cycle when it hits peak weight. Something I think I did not take into account is I added some small string jax to the string to quiet it down which it did but I just weighed one and they are 19.5 grains each. Maybe I am not that much off. I will take them back off this weekend just to compare.

    40 grains will slow you down 13-14 fps. So you're right where you need to be.
