Default Shot the new arrows

I took my new arrows to the range Saturday. I went to to a different pro shop than where I bought my Drenalin. The guy showed me that my rest was mounted 3/8" too high, so he adjusted it down,re-tied the loop, paper tuned it, and then we sighted it in.I also had him crank the limb bolts all the waydown for a draw weight of 74 pounds. I also found out that the arrows are 28", not 28 1/2". For the couple of folks who wanted to know how fast the arrows would shoot at 70 pounds, it was 256 fps. So, here are the adjusted specs:

Arrow: Gold Tip Pro Hunter Hardwoods HD 7595
Shaft Length" 28"
Arrow spine: .300
F.O.C.: 11%
Fletching: 4" Duravanes
Broadheads: 125 Grain G-5 Montecs
Bow draw weight: 74#
Draw length: 29"
Total arrow weight: 475.5 grains

After shooting three arrows through the chronograph, the arrow speed with 475.5 grains is 270 fps. That'll do nicely.
I have some questions, but I'll put them in another post. Just wanted to answer a couple of you who wanted to know how fast they flew.
