Default RE: WHICH BOWTECH BOW FOR ME?

Caj,
330 IBO is probably a bit on the conservative side.......Most Of the BowTechs I've shot shoot somehwhere in the middle to high end of that speed range. My Pro38 DC listed at 333-339, and with a string loop it shot 336. Bare string should have put it right at 339 or so.
I'd expect more like 335.......At IBO specs 30"/70# you could fairly easily get 325+ with a hunting set-up of a string loop, Tru-peep, and Leeches. And even with your 28" draw length expect 305-310ish if you want to shoot 5grs/lb. With that brace height?.......

Not sure what AMO speed they list for these bows.....I haven't seen anything yet.

Chances are a 60# Pro40 dual will max out at 61-62#, My Pro38 DC was shooting 299fps w/ a 372gr arrow at 62# w/ a peep and loop........you want 250fps range at 375-400grs?
At 62#/28" a PRo40 Dual Cam should give you somewhere in the neighborhood of 275+/- w/ a 375gr arrow or 260+/- w/ a 400gr arrow. And that's with a peep and loop, you probably won't even need leeches or whiskers as mine was plenty quiet without them.

Sounds like its right up your alley.
