I am shooting a Predator recurve (50lb @ 28) with a 30 inch draw. my arrow is an easton 2413 with a 100 grain Magnus two blade. the total arrow weight is about 510 grains. i have no idea what my speed is (it seems to me you can time it with a calendar) but it shoots so sweet i just ain't gonna mess with it. i have yet to take a deer with it, but i am sure it will do the job here in VA.

i had to give up the compound due to target panic. going to a recurve solved it for me.

interesting post.
