Chrono results for my Warfed Gamemaster

[Cueball]

Well the results are in on the bow. Here are the particulars:
Bow: Gamemaster riser with W/W focus limbs 53@30
Arrow: Cheetah 45-60 400 deflection 335 grains.
String: MM fastflight endless loop
Speed: 226fps 3 shot average
Limbsavers on limbs

The bow is quiet as can be and shoots flat at 30 yds.


Can you detect the great big smile on my face. :)

It better shoot flat at 226fps!

Hard to imagine an arrow that light going so fast being quiet though. I guess theres a good deal of "efficiency" going on there!

Sounds like a winner!

Roby Dean-
That is the best news Ive heard all day. Awesome. Totally Awesome!!!!!

[Cueball]

Stag I wouldn't believe it if I read it but I had an inpartial witness. Cato was there for the whole deal. Sweeeeeeeet

Clydesdales are cool. I sure like the way they look and they're exactly what people are talking about when they call something a real "workhorse". A highly spirited thoroughbred, on the other hand, offers dynamic lines, great control and exceptional speed and handling. Isn't it cool that you can have both?

Sounds like you've got a real game sniper there, Roby!

[Cueball]

What do you think about chasing whitetails and maybe the occasional hog with that arrow weight and that speed?

I think I've never been so glad I'm not a deer or a hog. Anything that gets in the way of those arrrows will end up with a couple new holes in 'em. I really don't think you'd have to worry about a really sharp broadhead bouncing off a deer or pig because the arrow is "too light". I've got some cheetahs that do about 220 and weigh a little less than yours and I sure as heck wouldn't want to get shot with it. The only "bouncing off" an arrow that fast does happens after it passes through and hits a rock on the other side.

[Pinelander]

I knew you were gonna get better than 220 FPS!!! Not really a surprise, but great news anyways. :)

I have no experience with 350-400 gr. arrows on deer and also no experience killing hogs. But if it's only about CHASING them... it's gonna be no contest... arrows don't have legs, whitetails can beat anything in short bursts, and the hogs would probably be chasing YOU!
:lol:

I dont want to be anything in front of that rig! How much improvment from the stock limbs? Can you see any downside except for having to keep a super close eye on it when you set it down? :highfive:

[James Wrenn]

All you long armed suckers make me sick. :jk: That is too fast for me too see.Sounds like you really have a winner there.Great job

[James Wrenn]

BTW...What length bow do you wind up with useing other limbs on the gametracker riser? I am still looking something shorter. :)

[Bob Gordon]

Cueball...Forgot to mention that I rubbed some "warf dust" on the new limbs for ya, that way you pick up about 15 fps over bows without it! LOL...That's pretty good speed for someone with a short draw length (30") now if you could pull it back a couple more inches you would get some serious speed that would be impressive. Those top of the line Olympic limbs are pretty good performers I new you would be breaking the sound barrier with them on your Gamemaster, sure won't be safe in the woods this fall for those little biddy deer you have down there....warf

[thisbucks4u]

Give me a couple weeks and Ill give you a full report on the hogs. Last year 400 grains goin a LOT slower went thru EVERYTHING, including a spine shot. I would not be afraid to use less. Ive got a Revolution that ended up too short for targets that weighs 340 goin bout the same speed (yes im braggin). Ill give it a try on one and report back.

Whitetails-no worries. just no shoulder shots, but then again, you knew that already. :)

[the other DWS]

Congratulations on the new bow/limb combo. Those fast flat shooting warfed bows are positively addictive. Next you'll be wanting a shorter riser to milk a little more out of those limbs. At that velocity arrow weight won't be as much a concern as tuning for good flight and getting the right broadheadhead tuned to make use of as much of that energy as possible.

you'll probbly start playing with your fletching too, as well as finding longer ranges to practice at. At much of anything over 200 or 210 fps the trajectory is basically laserbeam flat out to 20 or more yards for point-blank shooting and the arrows are damned hard to see in flight, especailly with the darker or barred fletching.
I've had to strip and redo a bunch of my carbons since I got warfed. And now I seldom shoot at anything less than 20 yards----an only then because thats all the longer the local indoor range can accomodate-----Come ON Spring

[Cueball]

Well, I am going to shoot a couple arrows at some pigs and deer if they bounce of they should bounce almost all the way back to me at that speed. Haven't played with broadheads yet but don't anticipate problems. I bare shafted this arrow till it was perfect. Also I never really had problems with broadheads out of compounds shooting speeds of 270+ don't really think i will on this. But you never know. It should be fun to spend a month or so really fine tuning everything. Thanks again Bob your the man.

Hey roby
for the sake of curiosity, put those limbs on Cato's warf riser and shoot it. I really think those "Tec" risers make a huge difference in how the bow feels. Try it out and see what you think.

[Cueball]

James, the bow is the same 62 inch bow as with stock limbs. The stock limbs are mirror images of short fita limbs just no int limb fittings. Mike I expect a full report on them hogs.

Sounds like a nice set-up Roby!
