- +/- 10 pound change in draw weight ~ +/- 18 FPS
- +/- 3 grain change in arrow weight ~ +/- 1 FPS
- +/- 3 grain change in string weight ~ +/- 1 FPS
Why Do You Need This Calculator?

If you're hunting or target shooting, we recommend you get 275 fps (with +/- 5) which provide provide a stable flight.
If you're shooting 3D target, go with 290 fps (with +/- 5) as you'll need high speed to hit the vital area in the tournament.
