I can remember when 200fps was the bench mark, and 300fps was thought of as unattainable[8D]
Much less with a 61#, 28" draw
My BowTech Airborne 82nd, 61#, 28" draw, 330 grain arrow 312fps

Me too Dan. I was excited back in the day when I chrono'd my old bow and got 220...I had one of the fastest bow around LOL[8D]
When we hit 300 ibo...it seemed like that was all we would ever get....350 seemed about like landing on Pluto.
Funny thing is....I would bet most folks didn't kill any less deer with that technology...[8D]
Oh, and my comment above wasn't ashot at your suppressors...just pointing out howfunny it is to see how things change over time. Obviously its been proven they are a good thing....but a while back people would have bet their firstborn to prove that threory wrong.
WV, I attended a Bow Jamboree in the late 70's, early 80's where they had a Speed tent and everyone was chronoing there bows. The entire weekend there was only 5 bows that broke 200fps[8D]
As far as the suppressor, I had a Bow company rep that told me a few years ago that he felt like my String Suppressors put astrain on a bow.
I guess a lot of people have changed there mind.
