I am not very good at this stuff sorry. Tried to reduce the size of the pictures so they would not be so annoying. First of all I no longer have a working chronograph but I think the pictures will speak for themselves. I believe at the low power setting the speed is somewhere around 390-400FPS because I have to use 2 crossbow targets to stop them. I believe I once read that the wingshot is about 20 FPS faster with airbolts than the dragon claw because not having rifling in it the wingshot gets a better seal. So I believe that on high power it is around 525FPS. Regregardless there is no doubt in my mind that even on low power these bolts will go through a deer like butter. I also aimed dead on in the center of the bull for every shot at all ranges, no hold over at all.
This is just showing that these are crossbow targets.
This was 5 shots on low power at 30 yards. I just put the 1x5 scope on here so will give it a click to the left
This is just to show how it is penetrating both crossbow targets and yeah it is no fun getting them out
Same thing just different angle
This was full power at 40 yards 3 shots. If you look close you can see a bit of the knock sticking out on 1 of them. 1 is buried in the bull on the lower left, you can't see the bolt at all
You can see at the bottom the bolt that buried itself
This is just me pushing the buried bolt back out of the targets
Just showing the pressure after the 3 full power shots at 40 yards. I meant to show a picture of press after 5 on low power but forgot, anyway it was just about the same.
This was 50 yards full power doing my best to aim at the center of the heart. All of the shots were from a bench resting the forend on some rolled up carpets and the butt against my shoulder. I see that 50 yards would need some hold over but it is dead on out to 40 yards. I do not feel like it would have any problem taking a deer on low power and anything at high power. Sorry I have no speed info but the pictures are pretty telling.
