I have a 44lb@27" longbow which I pratice with everyday it's no speed demon but quiet as a ghost and I can shoot this bow with great accuracy. When I go hunting normally pick up one of my newer bows which are also closer to 50lbs and 15 to 20+ FPS faster same arrow to hunt to get that extra punch on game. I was shooting the bow this evening in the house using my lighted Chrony and here are the numbers I average below. I was thinking about hunting some with this bow and am trying to deside on which arrow weight to use for normal size hogs,deer,and maybe a turkey. I am also using two blade single bevel broadheads on the 475gr and 523gr arrows. The 620gr arrow is a 300gr Xtreme 3 blade. Thanks for any info.
475gr arrow 147 FPS
523gr arrow 140 FPS
620gr arrow 131 FPS
523gr
It will work with a good sharp head and a good shot.
