I did see “The Fury” post. Great bow, great profile. I guess the draw weight was higher than the bowyer thought, so his numbers went down a little...but it was still screaming around the upper 180s or even 191 or something, if I recall correctly.
I was just really curious how DC’s BooYew RD bow turned out...in the end, after any additional testing. Because that bow seemed to be holding up fairly well.
I know the wooden bow tends to drop some speed after its first 20-50+ arrows or so, so the 200fps barrier is even more difficult a task than the number suggests, considering the materials at play. My best is a hackberry self bow RD that I got to finally hold about 2.25” of reflex...it started off around 181, 182 FPS...and I got all excited, of course...and then by the 3rd chrono session (and the 40th arrow or so) it settled in at 175fps.
It’s so hard to conduct valid testing, too. So easy to underdraw, overdraw, get erratic readings, poor lighting, too much lighting, and so on.
But seriously, any bow that even approaches the fabled 200 is an amazing accomplishment. I just was curious what the final take on that BooYew masterpiece ended up being...
