Default RE: 300fps?

I would agree with the others. The Rage is a nice bow but not a speedster by today's standards. It might have an IBO rating of around 300 fps but that is at a 30 inch draw length with a 350 grain arrow. Your heavier arrow and shorter draw length is robbing at least 60-70 fps from that rating. In contrast, the slightly heavier draw weight is only gaining you about 9 fps. Estimates between 220 and 235 are probably right on the money.
