Default RE: Mystical 200 FPS?

My CM Hunter II(54@28&quot will shoot a 2114 (8.5 gr./&quot 180-185 fps. I was probably not drawing the full 28" when i shot it through. I usually don't shoot arrows that light (454 gr.) I think a bow would have to be darn fast to shoot a 10gr. per pound arrow over 200 fps. I wouldn't want my recurve to shoot that fast.
My dreaded compound (60#@27" Mathews MQ1 that is gathering dust) shot a 5.4 gr./inch arrow at 255 fps. I don't know that it would shoot much faster than 200 with a 600 gr. arrow. By my calculations (5gr=1fps) It would be right at 200. Kinda tosses out the 200 w/ 10gr./pound arrow myth IMO. That 5gr=1fps conversion is kinda crude though, I have never tested it on such a large scale. I works well with switching from 125 to 100 tips and the like.
