I think you will be just fine with a 350gr arrow! As for the speeds you will get can't help ya there! What is the minimum grains per pound that Hoyt will waranty? Shoot the minimum for your maximum speed.

I am shooting the AlphaMax 32 at 29.5 and 67-68lbs. I am shooting Axis 340's at 28.5" (417grains) and I am getting right at 294fps. You can move to a 400 spine and get more speed, but I think you will find that will be underspined and the 340's will be more accurate/consistant.

5 grains per pound and you will be ok, but for hunting I'd say you would be much happier with something around 6 grains per pound.

Good Luck!
