    A few Monster questions...

    Not an XLR8, but the other one.

    What kind of speed could I expect with a 28" draw, shooting a 425 grain arrow at 65lbs? What about 70lbs?

    Thanks!

    If I did my calculations right here is an estimate of what you would get out of it:

    @ 70lbs: about 301 fps
    IB0 is 353
    -20 for draw length
    -25 for arrow weight
    -7 for about 20 grains on string (est.)

    @ 65lbs about 291 fps
    same as above but -10 for 5lbs of draw weight

      Talk about speed!

      I bet it's faster than the guy that works for the government. He gets off at 5 o'clock and is home by 3:30.

        My son is using mine.
        Arrow 380gr
        28" draw
        60# dw
        292fps
        You should get enough speed to allow you to reduce the poundage.

          I have a 80# Monster set at 77# shooting a 753gr FMJ DG and shooting 270fps. I have a 30.5 DL with just a peep and D-loop on my string

                  Had a monster 6 last year at 70lbs 28" with a 350gr arrow I was getting 330 and the same bow backed down to 60lbs with a 316gr arrow was getting 323, but had nothing but a loop and peep on the string. one of my guys was shooting a 6 at 27" 51pd with a 395gr arrow and getting in the 290s

                  I like the 7 better though, even though its not as fast.
