I shoot a Hoyt Vectrix set at 68lbs with a 28inch DL, 350 CX maxima with a 100gr Thunderhead, blazervanes. This seem about right?? I group pretty good
Assuming you are shooting a 27.5" shaft (and a few other minor assumptions) your arrow should be right around 362 grains, with about a 14% FOC.

Figuring you are shooting just a peep and loop, it looks like you should be getting right around 284 fps, producing right at 65 lbs of ke and .456 momentum.

Again, this is making some assuptions.

If everything is correct, I would think your arrow is slightly too stiff (and I like to shoot a stiff arrow). You could tweek the setup by adjusting your dw up 2-3 lbs, or increasing your arrow lengh 3/4" to help break the spine. I only say this because I like to tinker.

If you are not having issues with bh tuning, then what more could you ask for.
