"The fact that they do not personally sell an arrow at that weight does not really matter"

Yes, it does...I never said they would not shoot what they claim with the weight arrow and string upgrade. My issue is that the little asterix and the fact that you cant buy the components from the factory is an issue. If you went to buy a car that claimed 400HP and you found out that the only way to achieve that is to go to a speed shop and add on a bunch of aftermarket parts you would be pretty ticked. That is the issue here. The factory arrows are 370gr with a 100gr tip (just weighed one) By your chart the Phoenix shoots 288fps with that arrow. Can custom arrows be made? Yes, but I can pick up a factory package from other manufacturers and shoot what they claim. It just makes for more explaination to the customer so he does not go home and shoot thru a chrono and call back thinking something is wrong with his bow and then get ticked that it shoots 20fps slower than it is advertised. Dry fire is not an issue at 350gr I agree, but it is listed as the "minimum" you should shoot. All I am saying is that if they are going to list these speeds then supply the arrows that can do it. If not, list the speeds you can get with the factory arrow. If people want more speed I will be happy to make 350gr arrows, but the speeds listed should be what you can get with the 370gr arrows that come from the factory. You can ask anyone who has inquired about a TenPoint recurve from me that I state upfront that it will not shoot what they claim. I am not bashing Excals bows here, just the speed numbers that people are looking at when they go to buy the bow.
