Richard Batdorf (the bow's designer) has claimed speeds of 428 fps at 3gpp(still within warranty specs).

I squeezed a 369 out of my Iron Mace at 29", 70#, 250 gr arrow (3.7 gpp), with no extra preload on the cams- so it's not entirely impossible. Whether it will ever scare the advertised numbers or not,it definitely looks like a fun toy to play with. They're still in bed with Winner's Choice and Dave Barnsdale, so it looks like they're continuing to use quality components and building on their '07 lineup.
