Title: It's Quick!!!
Post by: WildmanSC on October 20, 2007, 07:26:00 PM
I knew my ACS CX bow was quiet, dead in the hand and appeared to be very quick. I found out just how quick it was today at the Archery Shop.

I was shooting Axis 400s with 200 gr field points and a total arrow weight of 517 gr. I shot 5 arrows out of my 52#@28" CX and got a 5 shot average of 188 fps. That is quick for a 9.94 gr/pdf arrow! I was shooting split fingers with a Damascus glove under a Cavilier Elite tab at my draw length of 28".

Randy,

Thanks!  It will be going to IL with me next week for a week of deer hunting along with my Crow Creek Black Feather 3-PC longbow.  I hope to blood both of them!  They are two great shooting bows.

Wildman,
Is that arrow well tuned to that setup? What length did you cut those shafts?

beendare,

It is very well tuned.  I tuned it by bareshaft testing, and the shafts are cut to 29.5" BOP.  The arrows shoot like darts out to the 25 yards of shot it.
