Default RE: What can you tell me about this recurve?

Art, I "built" some arrows at Jackson, to get an idea on foc, point weight, etc. I was initially concerned that FOC may be an issue with heavier heads and feathers bringing up the rear, but was pleasantly suprised to find FOC range from 12-14.8%. I assume with a recurve, this is entirely acceptable and should yield good flight?

Found that a CE Terminator at 29" with a 150 grn tip, insert, 3 4" feathers and a CE slimline nock yeilds a 452 grain arrow with 14.8% FOC. That puts me essentially spot on the "magical" 10 grains per pound.

Any feeling for what kind of FPS I can expect from the Martin x-200 at 45#s 28"ish draw? I'm trying to get a grip on the KE I can expect from this set up.
