Im a die hard Matthews man but I just bought an AR 34. It shoots great and is super quiet. Right now it is set at 68 lbs at 29 inch draw with Easton Exel arrows with 85 grain broadheads, total arrow weight is 385 grains. It is shooting 282 through the chrono right now. I am planning to switch to 100 gr heads soon but it still should be well into the 270s. I shot the bow while I was setting it up at 70 lbs 29" and shot 5 grains per pound and got 299, not too bad since it is silent, you wont be dissapointed[8D]
