What chrono?

Shooting a 2014 Hoyt CST with a #2 cam, Victory VAP .300 with Brass up front. Shot through one of the local shops Chrono, never looked at the brand. I'd be happy to shoot it through any Chrono someone wants to send me to make sure it's correct. I also have 75# limbs on the bow that weigh out at 77lbs, the draw length is also dead on for length.

Excellent. Thanks. I missed your prior post. Sorry. I also have a 27.5-inch draw and I'm looking to increase my arrow weight.

The newer bows are defiantly easier and smoother to draw heavier weight with. So if you can jump up 10lbs you might pickup a “little” speed..

Carbon Spyder 30
70# 30” 465g/298fps

RX-3 Ultra
75# 30” 485g/295fps

Those arrow weights look a bit, light :unsure:

I just picked up a Mathews Traverse, setup at 27.5" draw, pulling 61lbs.

My current arrows are right around 460gr and my new ones I am waiting on should be right around the same.

255 fps

Halon 32 29.5” 60# with 420 gr arrow at 290 FPS
Same setup @ 70# comes in around 315 FPS
Lighter arrow setup than you see these days but haven’t had any problems with whitetail hitting the ground.

270 is about all you can expect from a nice weighted hunting setup. That range tunes nicely and hits hard!

Which module/ setting are you running on those setups?

Great bow but nope, sold my RX3’s. The Evokes won me over. Those Evolve cams are my favorite in the business right now. I really can’t think of a single thing I don’t like about them. Probably will be the most overlooked pro series bow this year. Pin float is equal to if not better than my Invasions and the performance to draw cycle is unparalleled in the industry right now. Plus they upped their game and went Kolorfusion for camo finishes. They are just doing many things very well right now. Haven’t been a huge PSE fan in the past but things have changed quite a bit.
