250/250 goal

My goal is to shoot a 5/8" steel ball ~250 grains at 250 fps. (16 grams)

Has anyone shot the fast with a 5/8" steel ball?

There can be no doubt you will achieve this with 5/8 marble.

Steel?

I have shot glass marble at 304 fps 80 grain not 250 grains of steel.
I am sure the Joregs has! -- Tex
I'm pretty sure I got 260 fps with a 0.62 inch lead ball which is 359 grains. I used Gold Theraband and a large fork extension but a conventional (non butterfly) draw.
I don't have any 5/8 steel balls. I did shoot 224 fps with a 3/4 lead ball though. This video shows it (after the Novitzkenegger shot), here:


And I have often shot 15 mm steel balls (5/8 is 15,89 mm) at over 260 fps. That is no big deal.
