I have seen them and have talked to some dealers adn owners when it comes to crossbows, you want to make sure that you stay with in 290-310fps to be more accurateand be able to take a longer bolt, i think the longest bolts are 21-22 inches. Just what i have heard from dealers as well as those who hunt with any crossbow.
You might want to check that data out some more. The world record moose was taken in Canada at alot slower fps than your parameters w/ a 20" arrow. Fps has little to do w/ accuracy, and actually the higher you go w/ fps, the harder it is to maintain accuracy after a point w/ bheads. I would probably not live long enough to clean all the game taken w/ 18- 20" arrows at 260 fps or less, lol. Neither would you!
