My setup is as follows:
Elite Impulse 34 at 65#
27.5" draw
512 gr. arrows
552 FPS

Arrows are falling out of the sky past about 50 yards. More than 2" per yard drop at 60-70, but I don't think I have any business shooting something that far away. But I practice out there regularly.

552? Maybe 252?

Can one of you fellas run this through one of those programs?? I’d be interested to see what it says.

I’ll shoot through chrono next time I go to shop

Someone willing to run again for me?

353 grain arrow with 100 grain Broadhead for total of 458 grains with 27.5” draw at 70#’s.

One last bit of tinkering before locking in for elk and whitetail season.

Internet calcs tell me 260

Carbon Icon
#70 @ 28" draw, victory vap gamer 300 @ 453.6gr arrow average 265-270fps.

Elite E35
#80 @ 28" draw, gold tip hunter pro 300 @ 451.8 gr arrow, average 279-281fps.

Question, My icon varies 5 fps, My Elite only varies 1 or 2 fps. I use a Oehler chronograph.
What can cause the inconsistent speed on the Icon, or is this typical? I ask because the Icon is new to me and wondering if there is an issue.
