Default whats everyones fps with their setup?

just seeing if mines pretty much with everyones..

I checked today and at 29" draw, 56lbs, 400 ICS with a 100grain tip(416grains total) its shooting 267-270

im sure if I go up to 70 and lighter bolts it would reach the 315rating, but I like the smooth draw and flight of the lighter poundage for hunting
