Default a numbers game. i need help.

So I have a 29" draw length and my new alphamax 32. And I was wondering if I have it maxed at 63# what kind of speeds can I expect from a 100 grain tip shooting cx maximas the regulars not hunters.
I'm looking for a ballpark for my bone collector.... I'd love to break 300 fps with it is it possable?? Anyone know any setups that will worl in my favor??

I could be wrong but I doubt you break 300fps with that setup. 280's-290's is plenty fast enough.Why worry about the speed?

Nice Bow! Speed is not the most important thing.but it is nice if all the other traits you are looking for are there.

You are not going to break 300fps with that setup. I am guessing you are going to bein the mid to high 280's. I am shooting the AM32 @ 29 1/2" DL, 417 grain GT arrow, 72# DW and I am getting301fps.

Here, figure different arrow weights in your set-up yourself, to get an idea of what will produce what type of speed, http://thearcheryhut.com/calculators.php This link had a pretty accurate calculator.
