GruHot,

Where are you getting the 255-265 range from?

I told you at best you might get around 250 with the 2215 which is 60ft lbs of KE. That IMO would be the absolute top end that you'd most likely see. Don't be shocked to see 240's with that weight arrow.

Don't err on the high side just make yourself feel better about the numbers.....in other words don't create numbers for your set-up because that's what you want them to be. You'll be setting yourself up potentially to be using a broadhead that might not be the 'Best' choice for you and your set-up. Don't use a particular head because it might work, or should work for you......choose one that WILL work. Of course shot placement is of utmost importance with ANY broadhead, but you want one that will work on that "Not so perfect" shot as well.

Your set-up will most likely be generating like I said , about 55ft lbs of KE. If you make a broadhead choice around this level you will be making a better choice overall IMO.
