Badger:
     I like to use the chrono in such a way that I am comparing it to modern bows. That doesn't mean I expect the same performance but just for comparison, for accurate readings regarding the bow it almost have to be shot off a shooting machine ( easy to make) The fit of the arrow nock on the string has to be consistent and not too tight, the string itself should always be the same. ( most modern bows are shot with fast flight type strings now and they add several fps) The same bow might vary as much as 15 fps depending on how it is set up and shot. Steve

Thanks for the info, I don't think I need to use one of those if I listen to yalls tips.PK

Pat B:
I used a chrono once on one of my bows once but I was so disappointed in the numbers that I quit using one. Now I just shoot the bow and if it shoots good it a good-un. If not its a dog. Simple! ;)      Pat

i shot my firts succesfully made bow thru a chrono,i felt that it shot fairly fast and found that it was shooting at 138 fps,not so impressive.

however when i took it out andshot it for distance and it shot approx 235 yds, i thought thats way cool dude.

i like the distance shooting better than a chrono just because my bows never come close to what im used to seeing a bow(wheelie style) shoot thru chronos.
and i think a primitive bow deserves a primitive shot test, jmho

Little John:
Yep, flight shooting for me to compare performance out of a bow.    Kenneth
