[QUOTE="bailey1474, post: 77752, member: 3249"] My favorite story to date is a bow that can shoot 460fps. A coworker of Lerch and mine said his brother had such a bow. I called him on it, and said I would bring my chrono to work and we'd test it. He stuttered around for awhile and then, after a phone call to his brother, said it was 416 fps. I told him I'd bet him $100 that the bow was not this fast. After somemore stuttering around we settled on 400 fps as the wager. I brought my chrono to work and we shot the bow over it. 365 fps 367 fps 370 fps They moaned around and said that the chrono was off. The coworker then went out and shot some shotgun shells over it. They too were slower than than the published velocity. He did some math and came back saying the chrono was 10% off. I threw some math back @ him. If he was correct, my 300 RUM was shooting the 125 gr BT @ 4334 FPS!!!! My .243 was shooting a 55 gr BT @ 4600 FPS!!!! Lerch's 22-250 was shooting a 55 gr BT @ 4125 FPS!!!! Still haven't seen my money. I tried like hell, but it was clear that the only way I was going to get it was if I drug him out in the street and kicked the crap out of him, so I just let it go.
