Whats the subtraction # for draw length, I think somewhere around 10fps per inch right? Reason being I am a 27". Just trying to get a round about fps for the 101 at 70#.

Minus 1" would be approx. minus 10 fps, yes. The Airborne 101 only goes down to 27.5" draw though. On the other hand the Airborne 82 goes down to 26.5" draw

Don't be too critical, but I don't know a lot of the technical stuff anymore. I used to read up on it quite a bit but literally all my reading is devoted to school work now. Anyway, so the longer your draw length is, the faster your bow shoots?

You'll typically achieve another 10 fps for every inch of draw length you've got, which adds to the duration of the "power stroke."

101st Airborne 29" draw 70 lbs and after getting the draw length correct (was a tad short on the AT review) 333 fps IBO. After AT comes back up I will post my review between the Dream Season 7 and the 101st ( don't feel like typing it all again)
