I'm not shocked that the Spyder just edged out the other bows just a bit, but glad to see there wasn't much of a difference between the bows! Also glad you used a heavier arrow. Most archers test with much lighter arrows ... very cool video my friend! God bless ya!
Great comparison brother. Enjoyed the video. I have to say I'm taken with that Blackfoot bow, and that view is always stunning. Have a great evening. Best regards
Thanks Scott! We're getting a little snow up on thehills now, none sticking down here at the house though. Hope all is going the best for you, take care brother!
Scott, the Blackfoot is a nice bow. My 40# Blackfoot is actually a little faster than the 45# Galaxy Black Ridge. In the recent velocity testing the Black Ridge averaged 164 FPS. Used the same arrow in this test and the 40# Blackfoot averaged 169 FPS.
Subscribed for a fellow lefty trad guy! Thanks for the video! It was exactly what I was looking for. I shoot a 40lb recurve with a 550 grain arrow. Wanted to get an idea of what speed/KE it was generating. Thanks again!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the vid! A 40# bow seems like a very good place for me. I can manage the draw back to 32", and it delivers very good performance.
@@HyperManArchery Yeah, I don't have anything 68", but I do have a 66" and a 70". It's funny though, the 66" is the Bearpaw Blackfoot in this vid. Although it is 66", the working limbs are not all that long, so It's fairly fast, but I tend to feel it starting to stack as I'm reaching full draw. The 70" is a 45# Galaxy Black Ridge, from Lancaster Archery. It's a budget longbow, but very enjoyable to shoot.
@@shanepitzer4126 60# wip I was in Dan's shop several years ago up in Montana outside of Ronan and watched him make the bows his dad and my dad were very good friends and they used to do the hunting up in the Bob Marshall you know hope to see you some more videos from you that was a very good display chronograph
@@shanepitzer4126just curious if you’ve ever scaled that spyder xl at your 32” draw? I have a 33” draw and I’ve been seriously kicking over the idea of ordering one
@@chadsyryca5275 Chad, no I haven't scaled it. I really need to pick up a cheap draw scale. But I can tell you it is a smooth draw to 32", with no serious stacking. I'm real happy with mine.
