Azmedman,

Chrono' d mine at the shop and set up at my friend' s yesterday. Here goes :

New at shop with only a loop and kisser button , w/Mathews prong style rest @ 74 # = 275 fps with a 473 grain arrow

Set up w/ Tru-peep ,loop, Wisker Biscuit rest =

62 # - 352 grain arrow = 290 fps - 80%-30 "
74# - " " " = 309 fps- 80% - 30"
" - " " " = 308 fps - 65% - 29.5 "

74# - 393 grain arrow = 296 fps- 80% - 30 "

A similar set up we were tinkering with on a MQ-1 was resulting in a 4 fps loss with the Biscuit compared to a prong style rest.

Like you said =not Black Max or BK 2 speed but still impressive !!

All of my friends commented on how quiet the LX was, everyone seemed to be really surprised !

I took it Turkey hunting and changed to 29.5 " draw/65 % which was easy and convenient for seated shooting from the ground. No turkeys = but fun anyway !!
Hope yours comes in soon and let me know how it does !!
