Here's the new bow all set up.
With the 80% let-off, she gets the 481gr arrow with 5" helical feathers going at 250fps on the dot.
Correct me if I'm wrong Joe, but if I go to a lower let-off of say 60%, the speed should increase.
You are right, the speed will go up! At 60% let-off, I would imagine that the speed will be around 280 fps if not higher. Nice new bow you have but you've got to respect an old H-500 that shoots at only 6 feet per second slower than your' Black Eagle II!
I do have one question though! Why do you shoot a full length 33 inch arrow? Are you that tall and have such long arms that that is your correct draw length? I ask because when I started out shooting my' old H-500 back in 1986, I was shooting full length arrows as well. However, with time and experience, I realiized that my draw length was close to 31 inches and after adjusting arrow lengths, I became a much more confident and deadly bow shooter. Also, the increase in speed at which my' old H-500 hurled the arrows, went up quite significantly. I am 6 feet and 1 inch tall, how tall are you? I can usually determine a persons correct draw length by knowing how tall they are! However, I once knew a gentleman that was 5 feet and 10 inches tall that normally should have around a 29 inch draw but had a much longer draw length.
