speed?

[oldgun]

Just wondering if there is a way to estimate the arrow in fps. without the use of a crono? I have none available and would like a rough idea. Thanks.

I had a chart on here at one time but it was rough....very rough.

I can do better myself to be perfectly honest.

Give me the Bow manufacturer , model & draw length / arrow manufacturer , spine & type , fletching & head weight.
Include a list of each item that is attached to the string & type of release.

Give me a few minutes after reading your reply and I will give you a good ball park estimate

Hi BT here are the specs. Dunarco recurve 64 in. 52lbs. at 28 in. Arrows are Easton SuperSlam XX78. 2117. 31 in. long. 5 in. feather fletched, 125 gr head. Was told it was 574 total. Nothing else added 3 finger under release.

I am pretty sure that you are around 148 - 152 if you are @ 28"

Here is something I pulled off the net....suposedly same guys

We go way back to the '50s on this one, for some bowyers from southern Ontario.

This is a brief version, from what I was told years ago, and may not be 100% accurate since it was before I was involved in archery.

Two small bowmakers from the area just west of Toronto, Les Dunsdon and Harry Tillmark, got together to make bows and equipment under the combined name of Dunmark. Sometime in the 60s they retired and another Toronto company, Archery Craft, bought out Dunmark. It became Dunarco, then in the 70s shortened to DACO.

DACO, based just north of Toronto, made a whole lot of the best solid fiberglass camp/youth bows, plus crossbows (that's where Bill Troubridge of Excalibur started) and bought out the archery division of Outers which made the Astro Regency and other top US compounds of the late 70s, and started producing them here in Canada. For a while DACO went as "Astro-DACO". Then, in the early 80s, DACO was bought out by a Quebec company called "TOPO" which promptly folded, killing the entire line.

Our club (The Archers of Caledon) has a few Tillmark, Dunsdon and Dunmark on display. I have a nice Archery Craft wood longbow, plus a really nice recurve that has all the characteristics of a Dunmark, but does not have any logo or any markings at all on it. Great bows from the 50s and 60s, still shootable.

Thanks BT now have a running idea, what do you think of of 3 blade snuffers for deer in this setup?
