I need to break out the chronograph but could someone give me an idea on about how fast my bow will be shooting. I traded for it but it's unfired. I have a stock string and an aftermarket but I don't know the make, looks new.
I've calculated a bolt weight with 150 bolt cutters at 415 grains. About what speed can I expect?
Thanks,
Paul

Thanks Joe. I'm thinking about the Zeiss crossbow scope. The minimum on its' speed ring is 275. I should think I'll be in the ballpark.longbow joe wrote:My vix 2 is doing 265fps with a 435 grain zombie my leupold xbones is at 250 on the speed ring.dont let the slow speed bother you on this bow its a deadly bow inside 30 yards.l never shot it beond at deer.

Thats why i chose the bones it went to 250 .l think you should be close . I got a couple a turkey with it and killed a jillion critters in the yard with it and a big doe this year. The triggertec trigger was a really good upgrade also
