some numbers from the RPM 360

[thebomb6_99]

Yeap its way slow. I got lucky maybe

[JW]

^^^^ if you do the math there it cones out to 343fps IBO...GIVE EM 4 for the 60-70 difference and you get 347... exact same as what the 2 60# rocky (and I o. First ) tested.

Only bow I have ever shot that met or exceeded advertised IBO is the one I have now. I always as a rule of thumb nock of 10fps on advertised IBO.

My Destroyer is faster then its ibo

[super_dave]

So I could finally touch 300 while still drawing 60#. That is incredible!

Only one I know of. I wanted one but the fastest on I ever shot was only 4fps faster than my 82nd. Still have that bow. Still love it!

Hell we've been doing that. I'm pushing 368 grains, 60 pounds, 28 DL @ 305fps.

[Low Fence]

Yea. At 28" 60# I've been able to shoot over 300 since 04' at least probably earlier.

With a 6" brace 350ish is still TO ME where the bar still sits. Some might get 2-3 more and some are a hair longer than 30". But the same 350 that the black Knight and a few more hit back in 03' is still the speed mark at 6" brace......company's HAVE made that speed more shooter friendly though

I forgot to ask the last deer I shot what it thought about the speed my bow was making.

There you go.

Not the point.
Bottom line, the RPM is a 352-360 IBO bow, (30 inches DL), (draw cycle is very harsh at 30), but as you shorten DL down to 28, this bow starts falling off, and the draw-cycle is very,very sweet.
(Imagine that, as you smooth out the draw-cycle, the bow loses speed)
AS LONG AS THE POTENTIAL RPM BUYER is aware that he/she is not gonna gain the IBO difference in this bow over his current bow,(assuming current bow reaches it's IBO speed), if the DL is 28 or less. Go for it, It is a wonderful bow, maybe the best Bowtech has put out at 28 inches.
I was hoping to gain 27 fps over my Assassin that does reach the advertised333 IBO,but it's not gonna happen , all things being equal.
I'm gonna get 12 fps over my Assassin.

[HoundDog]

Now that we have kind of determined the 360 does not hit IBO, is the 360 the fastest bow Bowtech has produced?

[Low Fence]

At 28", no.

My insanity shoots the exact same arrow 1-3 fps faster.

At 30" it might be

[enewman]

Not if everything is apples to apples it won't. I haven't shot or tested one.if it in fact does hit IBO it would be the first Mathews I have ever seen in spec achieve it ( not 2# heavy, or 1/2 long on draw)

Shooting a 26.5 draw 67 lbs 508 gn arrow at 508 fps puts mr Mathews mr5 right on the button and that is measure draw Mod is 26

508 fps? That's smoking

[thebomb6_99]

Even if he meant 308 fps that would be the fastest bow ever made.

Lol true story
