70 lb PSE Xforce set at 63lbs. 29 1/2" radial weave 200 with 2" ( I think )blazer vanes and a 85 gr montec G5. I can't shorten the arrow any more or the broad head will be in the whisker biscuit. I'm kinda lanky. Use to be 6'3" in my youth.

Just for kicks I'd like to run my arrow's speed through a chronograph, Mathews says the q2xl at 60 lb draw, 29", 100 gr tip somewhere around 312 fps. I shoot 60 lb, easton axis 400 carbons 2" blazers with 100 gr muzzy at 28-1/2" draw. The only thing I know is you can't see the arrow in flight, even with the flouresent tips. While its a 2002 model, I can imagine the newest ones are smoking fast!

It is just for grins and giggles. I think anything speed that is fast enough to get that arrow where you want it to be on a deer is fast enough.

One of my best hunting buddys held on to his older than dirt Bear Whitetail far too long, which shot a nasty rainbow arrow. We finally got him to purchase a modern bow even though he chose a browning, he found out what speed means. Now equiped with a release/moderately fast bow/good sight, he is more confident in his shooting ability! Many years I shot takedown recurves with an arrow speed around 200fps. I thought that was fast, probably was at the time.
