    Default Slow speed on my GT 500

    I just put a 29.5" cam on a GT 500 that was 27". It is pulling about 71 lbs and I am shooting a 375 grain arrow. I am only getting 308 fps on my new pro chrono with a fresh battery. Any advise this seems slow for a 29.5" draw length?

    Thanks but it shows I should be at 332 which is what I would expect. Not 308.

    Default speed

    I'm not sure...I'm not use to having a bow with so much speed. My GTO is shooting 284 fps at 60# and 29" with a 384 gr arrow. The most I ever got out of a bow before that was 260-262.

    Sorry I didn't really help. Do you have all the speed nocks still on the string?

    Looks to me like your pretty slow. I'm shooting a 70/30 with a peep and loop with a a 415g arrow and I'm getting about 310. You might want to check your cams to make sure there in sync.

    Check your ATA,BH and DL.
    Unles you're WAY out of spec., I would say the chrono
    is the problem.
    I have a ProChrono and it will read funny
    w/ indoor light. Up to 20fps. off.
    Take it outside and shoot through the very middle of it.

    I am thinking chrono also. I have a new light kit on order. I have a very old light kit now. Also I am wondering about dust down in the sensors. Has anybody ever had that problem?

    30 inch 62lbs 375grains on my chrono 301 fps, but I need to print a 315 fps tape from OnTarget to match, so I think my chrono is slow... (it is compared to another the bow has been shot through)
