looks pretty tasty buddy, you've got your self a fairly heavy arrow there which is why you aren't shooting faster and your bow isn't exactly the fastest on the market either, but if you can judge distances well then you are in business... a range finder can be helpful too.
~if you want to shoot faster i'd sell your whole rig and start over
good luck buddy

Speed don't mean too much. If it did, the trad guys would never kill anything....

Your set up is just fine. 100% of the problems w/ todays bows and such are directly related to the person shooting them. If you can hit where you want, you're fine.

Trust me that is a deadly killing machine. As long as you put the arrow where it belongs
it will do the job everytime.

255 is plenty of speed. How do the quick spins hold up with the WB?

You are golden as far as killing power. I also wondered about quickspins and the WB. I've heard bad things about that combo.

255 fps out of that setup is about 100 fps more than you need. Tune it to shoot broadheads perfectly and then go kill all the deer and elk you want.

Don't worry about the speed, you have plenty. Remember, a slower bow is a more forgiving bow. Just aim straight and keep your broadheads sharp.

I don't question the bow or the arrows however I do have a queston about the vanes/broadhead choice....do you have enough vane to stabilize your broadhead? How are they flying? If that's not an issue, your all set and have a great season.
