Good luck with the turkeys.

Hopefully Strother isn't a sponsor. That won't be a long relationship.

The Wrath is a nice bow. Slow, but nice.

That would have been with an IBO arrow at your specs. Tell me your specs, draw length, weight, complete arrow weight in grains, and what you have on the string, and I'll tell you within 3 fps what that rig is putting out.

I don't know what kind of peep you're running, so I gave you 10 grains. Something like a G5 will be lighter, some of the Fletchers will be heavier - this is a good average, though.

You should be hitting right at 297 fps with your setup on that Wrath, with a KE just over 80.

Also, your choice of arrow weight is a good one. I've found that 400 grains is about perfect out of a 29/70 bow. Offers enough weight for added KE/momentum without going too heavy and losing speed. I'm guessing you are using Maxima's.
