Default Magic Bow?

Saw this on a different site.

"for every inch of draw length over 28" add about 10lbs to the draw weight to estimate your speed equivilent."

If I read this right, with my draw length (30.5" to 32", depending on the riser style) I should be getting speed equivelent to bows pulling 25# to 40# heavier--right? So, with me pulling [email protected], I should be getting about the same speed as someone pulling 91@28 (shooting my arrow).

Has anyone here EVER experienced this? I sure haven't--not even close. That would put me at the speed equivelent of about 6.5 grains per lb, which should put me well over 200 fps (a friend shooting the same bow got as much as 232 fps with just under 6 gpp--avg'd 227 with a 29" draw). I average 187 fps. Looks to me like someone miscopied some info.?
