At the trad shoots I attend, most folks don't pay much attention to fps.  Extremely rare to see a chronograph.  I'm thankful for that.

My bow shoots about 162 GTQ/sec.

GTQ = gets there quick.

My 50# at 28 will loose them at 179 at my 29.5 draw. Thats a 615gr arrow.

This discussion is meaningless unless we specify arrow weight.

You can shoot 250 with a trad bow @ 5 grains per pound.  Sounds like a .22 rimfire and bow won't last long but you can do it if you want to  :goldtooth:  ...Van

I shot a bow ( Bear Kodiak) that was 74 pounds at my draw; with a 2216 31 inch long arrow; 5 inch feather fletch with an insert and a 125 grain point .... and it flew at 219 on average of 3 shots.

I had a 56@28 Predator that shot a 28 3/4 inch 2216 with 145 up front at 176 fps. Thats pretty good considering I draw a smidge over 27 and 2216's are in the neighborhood of 12 grains per inch.

I have an A&H ACS, 62" limbs on a 16" RC riser that makes a 64" bow 50@30. With 460gr Goldtips, 9.2gr per pound, I consistently get 205 with my 30" draw.

My Elite hits 215fps using easton 500's at 7.3gpi with a 30" draw. Gives me point on at 65yds.

I can't say IBO spec is the most logical way to test a trad boy as it wont last long at those specs 70# at 28", 350 grain arrow.  

But the new Belcher bows SSR limbs averaged 255 fps.  Can't wait to see what it can do at 53#ish and at least a 450 grains. I think it will be even more smokin on a Monster Bows Aluminum Riser.
