up to 80 ft range is about the same as fps. 60ft range = 60fps,  etc.

past 80, fps is higher than range. 100ft range= 120 fps.

note: these are angled measurments. That's not nessasarily true. A projectile can be slow moving, and still hit 80 ft. That doesn't mean it has a speed of 80 FPS.

Also, I'm measuring initial velocity; the speed of the dart when it escapes from the barrel. It will not have a constant speed. So range would sorta be irrelevant.

I suppose if it goes to 80 ft in 1 second, you can say it's 80 FPS, but other than that, it's not a very accurate measurement.

Thanks for the help though,
