Trails Across The Prairies

Speed Demon

Well that's probably an exaggeration, however I found that this hybrid longbow shows respectable speeds when the speed of the arrows being launched from the bow are checked with a chronograph as I'm doing in the photo.

In fact its more than holding its own speed wise, yet the arrow's show no bad flight characteristics that comes with speed if the arrows have too light a spine, or the brace height for the bow is out, or possibly the nock point is set wrong, or a combination of all the mentioned.
On average, 165 fps (feet per second) is more than I expected from this bow, so I'm more than pleased with the arrow speeds achieved with the bow.

Expand the photo for a look at the readout on the chronograph display…..
