Default Slow FPS

I was at the local range shooting the screen and was quite surprised that my FPS was so slow, I average about 211.3 FPS. I do not know a whole hell of a lot about the technical side of compound bows, so I am pretty friggin clueless.
My bow is a Champion Storm powerflex, 29 draw, pulling back 60lbs. The string is about 2 years old, I just had the yoke relplaced. I am shooting Carbon terminators with 90 grain tips. I also use a peep and kisser. I do not use a D-loop for my release. I have a metal grommet that seats the arrow, then 2 rubber grommets to seat my release.
