Speeds are not only derived from the draw weight of the crossbow. The longer the power stroke, the faster the arrow will travel. This in conjunction with weight and harness assembly – i.e. high energy cams, and synthetic cables and string store more energy than a heavier weight bow with a shorter power stroke.
