Vixen II speed?

Post by learn2flyfish »

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.

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
