When I see how pathetic the speed is with this compared what others are getting I feel embarrassed! like I'm shooting a kiddy bow. The 280fps seems good but it's with a light weight 330 grain arrow.
JJ,
I hunt with a 60lb recurve and longbow, 600-620gr arrows, COC heads. (Magnus Journeyman, Eclipse, Bear super razorhead)
I use wood arrows painstakenly matched for spine and weight. I also like the skinny carbons like Beman MFX and Easton Axis with weight tubes for my desired weight.
The setups are tuned to perfection using the bareshaft/fletched method described on OL Adcocks website.
I know that neither of these setups are over 200fps.
I have to go back quite a few years to remember any animals I have shot that were not complete pass throughs. I also have to go back to the early 90's to recall the last shot I took over 20 yards.
IMO arrow flight is utmost importance to aid penetration.
As far as the embarrassed statement. I don't think you really mean that. Do you feel embarrassed using your plain jane 30-06 when someone else is using a magnum?
