Default Bow Performance, Where Am I ?

Past two years have been "on the go" for me. New move, new job, new house. Finally ready to get back into bow hunting, something I dida great deal of living in SC and WV.

I am having thoughts of updating my bow system and wanted to get opinions as to where my current set up sits in regards to performance, as measured by current standards.

My bow is about 10 years old, it's a Hoyt Super Star with the "Fast Flight" limbs, at least I think that's what it was called. My draw length is 29", with an over draw my current arrows are Easton 2213's at 25.25" long. With a setting of 69lbs, just 1 lb under the max advertised for my bow, I am getting a 100 grain point to go an average of285 fps as measured by mt Chrony.

What about carbon arrows? What size/brand etc would I need for my set up? I imagine I would pick up some speed going to carbon.

Thoughts??
