How about my new Storm Elite? I don't see any Storm bows listed Tony. Don't have a chrono yet either... bummer. Using 5.7.3.

It is impossible for me to add bows when a spec says 300+ f/s......what does that mean? TAP lets you calculate your BPF by selecting 'Use my own specs'. In your case enter the bows information and try 300 f/s...... I wish I had better news but adding them to the database with the specs they list would be futile for me.

Thanks for using TAP.... :D

Thanks Tony... kinda figured the same. Some others have reported their numbers. I'll use those in the home-brew method. :D

EDIT, EDIT, EDIT.

Here's some numbers posted in the Storm Forum. ET's the designer of the bows.

Tejas-

You really should not rely on another setup.....here's why:
You can't be sure of how they measured draw length, poundage etc.....you are taking a leap of faith. TAP will be 100% accurate if you just take the measures of your bow and run and shoot through a chrono yourself. The other specs may get you close but using your won specs is far better!

Yea... I know that. But for me and I'd bet the majority of archers who don't have access to a chrono, posted numbers will get us closer by using them in your program, than without either. But a chrono is rising to the top of my buy list quickly!

Scott all ya' gotta do is run by Outdoor Pro and use theirs.... or Mesquite Archery Club has one as well...

Think they'd mind if I brought my .40-60 Maynard Buffalo Rifle stuffed with black powder? :D :D

Got some other toys I've been wanting numbers for as well!

That might get a little loud in there... but if ya wnt to run down here we can make a day of range busting with my chrono..... both ranges are within 20 minutes of my house...
