WOW,that Elite is really putting them out there. First I have heard of someone with arrows over 400 grains being over 300 fps without going over 75 lbs draw weight. Quickdraw, how is the brace height and forgiveness?

Sounds like some calibrating might need to be performed on some of these chronographs??? 400 + grainers flying over 300fps with 70#'s? Hmmmm.

Grain and feet per second??? I wouldnt have the slightest clue, dosent matter to me. But whatever it is, it works on bear, elk, deer, antelope, coyotes, foxes, rock chucks, badgers, martens, tree squirells, gophers feild mice and a mole (one time), oh, and 4 kinds of grouse and a packrat (one time) I hope it works on Youkon moose, I will find out in a few weeks!
