Exactly what I said, you're under the recommended minimum set by the manufacturers, AMO etc etc. Most of us tend to try to fal within the guidelines so I think yours is not a "Real World Setup" that the man ask for. And you can push the envelope without suffering the financial loss that the average joe would have to absorb in the event a bow does blow up. If someone tells me a stand only supports 150 pounds... I'm not putting my body on it. I don't bounce very well. BUT.. if ya'll want to tell the guy to push the envelope just to say he gets 500 fps, be my guest. I say a more normal, real world speed is somewhere between 265-275.
