Still it seems rather fast since I still cannot see the arrows going downrange and what I have given up in speed I will recoup in kinetic energy.

Interesting tidbit...the cam module used in my firestorm lite is the same cam modules being used on the X force bows.
Actually that does sound a little slow for an XForce. I would think something around 285-290. I have a drenalin (slower bow) same arrow, 28" draw @ 62lbs shooting 293fps.
