Maximum KE Output Rating

Starting in 2006, we added a new column to our charts, Max KE Output. How much penetration, or knock-down power, your arrows will have is a matter of kinetic energy (read more). Arrows which impact the target with more kinetic energy will penetrate the target more deeply than arrows with less kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. Any object which has motion has kinetic energy. Total kinetic energy depends upon two variables: the mass of the object and the speed of the object. And since IBO speed ratings offer both these variables, computing KE Output is pretty simple.

COMPUTATION: If a bow has an accurate IBO Speed of 310 fps, that means it can push a 350 grain arrow to a speed of 310 fps when the bow is set for 70# peak draw weight and 30" draw length. So in order to compute KE, we just figure how much energy is in a 350 grain arrow traveling at 310 fps.

For this, we use the archer's KE formula [ KE=mv²/450240 where m=mass and v=velocity ], a variation of the standard KE=1/2mv² formula you surely remember from high-school. The standard formula would work fine, but not without some work to get the units straightened out. The standard equation uses kilograms and meters-per-second and yields Joules of KE. But shooters weigh arrows and other projectiles in grains (an old British unit based on a grain or barley) and we measure projectile speeds in feet-per-second. The shooting sports also tend to like KE expressed in ft-lbs, rather than Joules. So the 450240 is used as a nice clean conversion factor to get all the units to jive, so we can easily plug in grains and fps into the KE=mv²/450240 formula and get KE in ft-lbs.

Back to our example. How much KE does a 350 grain arrow have when flying 310 fps?

KE = mv²/450240
KE = (350)(310²)/450240
KE = 74.7046 ft-lbs.

HEAVY DRAW WEIGHT BOWS: A few bows are offered with a choice of peak weights that exceed the standard 70 lbs. In this case, our maximum KE output rating will reflect the bow set for it's highest peak weight. So if a bow has an IBO speed of 300 fps, but is available in an 80# version, we compute the KE using a 400 grain arrow (5 grains per pound) rather than the usual 350 grain arrow. You will note that 80, 90, and 100# bows are rated to generate significantly more KE, although their IBO speed numbers may not be particularly high.

For example, the new 2007 PSE Big Five (an African Hunting Setup) has an IBO Speed of 308 fps, but the bow is available up to 100# of draw weight. So if we assume the bow can shoot a 500 grain arrow (again....5 grains per pound) at 308 fps, then the Max KE computation looks more like this.....

KE = mv²/450240
KE = (500)(308²)/450240
KE = 105.35 ft-lbs.

A FINAL NOTE: Although heavy draw weight bows will generate more KE, shooting more draw weight doesn't necessarily yield more speed. The heavier the draw weight, the heavier the bow's arrow requirements. So for many bows, a 70#/350gr setup will shoot roughly the same speed as a 60#/300gr setup, or even an 80#/400gr setup. The ratio of draw weight to arrow mass is critical to actual arrow velocity. The lighter the arrow, the faster is goes. But you shouldn't cheat the standards to gain a little more speed. Shooting underweight arrows is not only dangerous, but it also voids the factory warranty on your bow. Always shoot at LEAST 5 grains of arrow weight for every pound of draw weight on your bow.
