Btw, i see where the 450fps came from now.

First of all, IBO speeds are set at 70#, 30" draw length, with a 350gr arrow.

If bow A is rated at 330fps, and the archer is shooting a 350gr arrow at 70#, but only with a 27" draw length their calculated speed will drop down to 300fps roughly.

Sorry I forgot to explain where speeds are obtained from.

You can take this info now and apply it to any bow.

There is quite a but more depth in the subject, but this is a good foundation.
