arrow speed question
 
im looking at getting a new monster xlr8 has anyone got a way of calculating an approx arrow speed i need to stay on or under 300fps to be in our competition guidelines
so if anyone can help what arrow should i use to stay in the range of speed thanks

want to shoot it at 70 pounds with 28 to 29 inch arrows????

What is your DL. If it is 30", I calculated that a 490gr arrow would put you right at 300fps.

My Omen is shooting 287fps at 66#'s with a 530gr. arrow! If I bumped it up to 70 it would be all over 300fps with that HEAVY arrow setup. Its for sale if you are interested in it.

am i right in thinking that the correct arrow for this setup is a 340 ???

IBO says it shoots 360... You better shoot a heavy thick aluminum arrow.. bigger the arrow the more you have to crack a ring!
