How many of you have clocked your hunting setup to get a real world (i.e., not IBO) speed? My rig is an Elite Ethos 70lb, 26.5" draw shooting Black Eagle Spartans in the 490gr. range. I'm clocking 246fps with that rig. It seems pretty slow but maybe not in the real world.

What speeds are y'all getting?
 
I use the EZV bow sight and I can’t say down to the single number but all my sights are based on arrow speed so I know within that 290 to 300 range. Any faster, I would have to insert the next sized sight-insert with a slightly different shaped V to match the holdover rate at specific yardages. I just switched arrows and got new strings so it’s all all still needs shot and sighted in but I’ve used anywhere from 270 inserts up to the 300 depending on my setup that year
