Is there any pics of the bow You could share? I'd love to see it, if you can't post it though I could understand that though

 

Can't post pics of it, sorry.

I may build a new one though with some new stuff I have had for awhile, I sometimes get the urge to test the boundaries of design.

If I do I will post pics and maybe put a video on the Strother Archery forum of me shooting it. It takes a while to build something like this so it won't be anytime soon.

 

ok, so what kind of limbs you shooting on that fast bow???

 

I may be a newbie, but I'll take a guess .... the leaf springs outta a Freightliner??

 

also if your looking for tips why not share yours!!!!!! maybe others want those speeds!!

 

Bansdale limbs and for tips on getting a bow to shoot fast shoot a light string, a light arrow, and just tweak your bow a little at a time till you get more speed things suck as timing and what not

 

whats your plans with this bow? just a play toy? think you are going to get it any faster?

 

yup pretty much just a play toy as are all my bows I doubt I'll get more speed out of it unless I put heavier limbs on it. I think it would be kind of fun to shoot a 3d round with it though

 

you would blow right through the targets LOL!! ok well good to hear you are having fun with your bow!!! thats what archery is about is fun!!! what pound limbs are you shooting now?

 

Right now i'm shooting 70 pound limbs, and there's really nothing that crazy with the penatration it's such a light arrow it stops really quick just about as much penatration as any other arrow I shoot at the target with that bow

 

well sounds like you have tweaked it pretty good!! you not worried about it blowing up?

 

not for a second limbs are warrentied for it and by a reputable company so I fill perfectly safe behind this bow

 

will they warrenty 3 grains per pound? most companies will not!! most say at least 5 grains

 

Yes they do

 

ok well now you really have me curious about who makes this bow!! have you changed anything on the bow but the strings? and of course tuning

 

ok so what if i guess the bow will you pm me yes or no? is it a new breed genetix?

 

im thinking it`s a high country.. and they have the light arrows.

 

I like my 320 out of mine thats dead in the hand and quiet as a ghost. O and Ill tell you its a Guardian set at 62lb and 30 inch draw:wink:

 

It's pure insanity to run 3 grains per lb at higher poundages, that is just looking for trouble or injury. But, everyone seems to do it until they blow up a few, then they smarten up, lol. If like Kevin you are looking to break World records, well that's one thing, but it has no use if you ever want to shoot the thing daily for 3D or whatever. We used to shoot many of the older hatchet cam style twins back in the day in similar local speed contests with pre-stressed, 12 strand, streamline harnessed, (remember that explosive material?) maxxed out bows 80-90-100lbs and more and running afc 2100 carbons with a nock insert for a tip, lol 210g total weight, polished axles, and all of the tricks, and getting speeds over 400 even back then. So whoop dee doo. Honestly, we haven't come all that far in 20 years, some of the old twins could crank some serious speed.... And anyone with half a brain and a bit of technical background can build a speed bow that might hold up for three shots thru the chrono and speeds over 400, and if you build it with higher/insane poundages, it gets even easier to close in on 500. We are reaching a wall currently, until we start incorporating new technologies. Once we do, and Joe public accepts them, well then it's a whole new ballgame. So...

How about this instead, gentlemen:

If you want to impress....here's what I want to see--- a 7+ inch brace height production bow, that at a very shootable to most 60lbs and a AMO 29" drawlength, with a regular tru peep and loop on the string, with a 300g IBO arrow, and smooth drawing cam, with no shock, recoil, or vibration, AT ALL, that hits an HONEST 350+ fps all day long without overstressing or failing components.....build it, and you will be worshipped....guaranteed. That would mean at IBO 30/70 with nothing on the string but a nokset, you would have to be hitting close to 375.

Have at it, and have fun....but.... you may want to hurry...:wink:

100%..right now I'm hitting 349fps @29" 67# w 335gr arrow. But..I have to deal with the 5" brace, so I don't forget my armguard when I shoot.

 

ok lets ask the guy with the 26 inch draw what his fastest bow is, what an absurd post

 

people are so cynical now days, just relax people...you ain't gettin out alive so have fun with it.

 

Fastest thing I've setup is my XLR8. Shooting with a 1/4" red eye peep, and loop, 350grain arrow, 29" DL 72#'s @ 358 FPS.

 

You're a little under the 5gpp...remember, it's not a Hoyt.:wink:

 

No real science to getting speed, I shot 427 fps at a sport show many years ago with a PSE Carroll intruder at 95lbs and 28"draw shooting a 210gr arrow, shot 8 times in front of hundreds over the weekend and it was rated at 235AMO so anything over that would be much faster

imagine what an Omen, XL8er or Destroyer would do with that set up

 

but what good is it to shoot these speeds if its not safe,and you have to have special equipment to make the bow handle it,if anybody besides kevin done they would be stupid,but since he done it.............well

 

Do you really think you would be shooting the quality of bow you now have if it wasn't for people like Kevin pushing the envelope. Every company makes prototype bows that test new technology that the public never get to shoot.

 

Some of you guys act like if anyone does anything out of the ordinary it should be against the law. Relax its just a freakin bow:wink:

 

One of my bows shoots 424 fps with a 500 grain arrow at 30 lbs draw weight with 22 inch draw length. Just thought I'd add to the stupidity

 

My hunting bow shoot a 425 grain arrow @ 421 fps.

That's not stupid, that is 167# of K.E. this makes the recovery time of the animal minimal. My arrows don't stop, even if they hit a big bone!!!!

 

at what dw??

 

iv got a pic on here of 396 with 3.5ggp and 29/72 hf6
