IBO speed of all bows is determined using the same setup. All bows are bare, pulling 70 lbs. shooting a 350 grain arrow at a 30" draw. Its more of a market ploy than anything else. A real hunting bow after all the accessories are added can be 20 or 30 fps slower or more than advertised. It really depends on overall arrow weight, draw weight/length, and the amount of vibration dampening accessories on the bow. Worry more about which bow feels the best when shot rather than how fast it can go. The only difference in a slower bow and a faster bow is that when you miss, the faster arrow goes farther away.

How do you figure ibo speed in archery?

IBO speed is only determined with a 350 gr arrow, 30" long, at 70 lb draw weight, with nothing on the bow string except an arrow release loop. Even with these criteria exact, you still have to shoot through a chronograph to find your bow's exact speed.

What is the fastest shooting compound bow in the world?

For off-the-shelf bows, it is currently the PSE Omen. The PSE X-Force Omen Pro shoots arrows at up to 366 feet per second under IBO (International Bowhunting Organization) rules. The 2nd fastest bow is currently the APA King Cobra at up to 362 fps. The New BowTech Insanity and several other models at rated at 355 fps. The speed is usually measured using a 350 grain arrow with the bow set up at a 70 lbs. draw weight and 30 inch draw length. In the real world shooting at lower draw weight and shorter draw length and using a heavier arrow like say a 400 or more grain, you would see more like 320 fps or less on such bows. Published speeds for bows are always IBO speeds based - as stated above - on 350 grain arrows, a 70 lb. draw weight and a 30 inch draw length with nothing else on the bow - no stabilizers, dampeners, sights etc.
