THE BHP
TEST LAB.
Explore BHP’s own bow testing, with sourced model years, original reviews and recorded results. Each test retains its actual draw settings and arrow weights.
ONE SETUP. FOUR ARROW WEIGHTS.
The worksheet’s standard setup is 29-inch draw / 70 lb, with arrows weighing 350, 450, 550 and 650 grains. Choose up to four bows to view their recorded results.
These are historical BHP measurements, not manufacturer speed ratings. Individual test dates, model years and repeatability details were not supplied. No missing speed is estimated. Bear Resilient was tested at 28 inches / 70 lb and appears in the worksheet below, separately from this 29-inch chart.

EXPLORE THE WORKSHEET
Filter by manufacturer, model or available measurements. “Not supplied” means the worksheet has no result—it never means zero.
40 archived models
Sound: reported microphone distance is 2 feet. Meter weighting, environment, sample count and the arrow weight used for each dB reading are not documented here. Readings are shown as recorded, without a quietest-bow ranking. Resilient speed uses 28-inch draw; other speed entries use the worksheet’s 29-inch heading, all at 70 lb.

RECORDED SPECIFICATIONS
These are the specifications supplied with BHP’s testing worksheet. They are separate from the manufacturer-checked Bow Match catalog. Exact model years and configurations still need to be matched before those records can be combined.
WHAT THESE NUMBERS MEAN
New archive entry: the 2019 Elite Ritual 35 was tested at 71 lb, with draw length unstated. Its 345-, 450-, 550- and 687-grain results stay separate from the 29-inch/70-lb chart. The two matched table columns do not imply matching draw conditions.
Measured speed and listed speed are different
The table and chart show BHP’s recorded arrow speeds. “Listed speed” in a specification card is the separate figure recorded in the worksheet’s FPS specification column. Its test standard was not supplied, so it is not labeled as an IBO or ATA result here.
Historical records, with their original context
Model years now link to individual manufacturer documents, launch announcements or dated model coverage. A model year is separate from its review publication date and the test date. Some 2026 models were introduced in 2025. Unconfirmed years stay labeled. The original 40-model worksheet is preserved in its download; additional BHP archive results identify their own source and setup.
Materials stay distinct
Worksheet entries labeled Metal use BHP’s aluminum default. Carbon, Magnesium, Magnite and the worksheet’s AST label remain distinct. Current specifications and available configurations should be confirmed with the manufacturer.
