Juniper/Sinew early tillering. What do you think?

Oh yeah by the way my draw length is only 24". So your 42# bow with a 27" draw is going to shoot faster than my bow at a 24" draw and 43#. Your bow is beautiful! Don't give up on her she may be stronger than she seems. Let us know what you find out!

pierce_schmeichel:
I took a look at the video and I found it takes your arrow .242 sec to get to the target from the bow. So if you were standing 10 yards away from the target then your arrow is traveling approximately 125 fps. Which isn't great but depending on the weight of your arrow it is still quite lethal. If you were 15 yards away from the target then that arrow wad traveling 180fps. How far were you from the target about?

WhistlingBadger:
Yeah, Pierce, it feels pretty fast for such a low draw weight.  I was about 12-13 yards out.  I don't have a chronograph or I'd find out for sure.  Need to get one, I guess.

WhistlingBadger:
Thanks for the input, guys.  Much appreciated.

Okay so your arrow is traveling about 155fps which sounds about right. That's about what I get out of mine of similar builds...that is PLENTY to take down practically anything. How heavy are your arrows?
