The V3X 29 has an advertised IBO speed rating of 340 fps on a 6-inch brace height.

Those variables affect how fast your bow shoots an arrow, which is measured in feet per second. The higher the number, the faster your arrow is flying. Most hunting setups propel arrows 270 to 285 fps, which is slower than the often-advertised IBO or ATA speeds of 350 fps or higher.

So what's fast in the compound bowhunting space? Well, I can remember a time not too long ago when anything breaking 300 fps would be considered a screamer. However, that wouldn't even get a passing glance today. Fact is, if the advertised speed isn't breaking 330 fps, there doesn't seem to be much interest.

A common misconception is that faster is better. However, this is not always true. For example, a typical crossbow provides 260 FPS to 400 FPS. If you want to get the best out of your crossbow, then I suggest you choose a crossbow with a speed of 250-300 FPS.

If you are shooting a bow with an IBO speed rating of 300 to 305 fps, you are shooting a bow with average speed. There are now bows producing IBO speeds in excess of 320 fps with forgiving brace heights and comfortable draw cycles. In that way, technology has definitely improved the performance of modern bows.

Even with today's small profile, fixed-blade heads, most experts recommend a maximum arrow speed of 260-270 fps. Beyond that, broadhead planing becomes problematic for all but the very best archers. Today's fastest bows are awesome in their ability to deliver speed.

125-175 feet How far can a 300 FPS airsoft gun shoot? - Airsoft guns with an FPS around 300 will typically have a max effective range of 125-175 feet (38m-53m).

around 50 to 80 yards How far will a 400 fps crossbow shoot? A crossbow with a velocity of 400 feet per second (fps) is considered quite fast and powerful. Generally, crossbows with such speeds are capable of achieving effective ranges of around 50 to 80 yards (approximately 45 to 73 meters).

This aerodynamic mechanical compound bow limb system is capable of delivering blistering fast arrow/bolt speed's up to an unbelievable 500 fps on the MANTIS and to a jaw dropping 600 fps on the MANTIS ELITE making the Mantis crossbow the fastest production crossbow ever made.

In general, a good arrow speed for deer hunting is between 250 and 300 feet per second pending your TAW. This range of velocity with the correct arrow provides more than enough kinetic energy and momentum to effectively take down a deer while also maintaining accuracy at typical hunting distances.

Even with today's small profile, fixed-blade heads, most experts recommend a maximum arrow speed of 260-270 fps. Beyond that, broadhead planing becomes problematic for all but the very best archers. Today's fastest bows are awesome in their ability to deliver speed.

250: bruises, not painful enough to take your breath away, but not something you want to take repeatedly. You may have a bruise for up to 2 weeks. Feels like a hard slap in a very small area. This is as hard as we allow in our outdoor games.
