RE: Mathews Bow Speed???
Rack thats an LX not a Leagacy.... cotton....That seems pretty close to what it should be....I have a 29 set at 66# with a 28 inch 7595 total weight 406 and I get 275.....Plus string whiskers shouldnt slow you down more than 2 to 3 fps

With my LX,I`am shooting 275fps.---30in. draw,28.5in Beaman Carbon Hunters with 85gr. Shockwaves,65lbs.One Limb Saver string leech on the string,one noct set,MZE rest,Mongoose release.Total arrow weight is 413grs.Maybe it`s me,but seems some guys just have faster bows with almost the same set-up.Any opinions?

I' ve found my LX really likes stiffer arrows than the Legacy which stands to reason considering the added performance. I went from 28" 3-60s to 28.5" 3-71s and the speed loss was very little. Some of the lighter spines just won' t get all this bow offers.

CF, Yours looks good to me.
Mine:
LX, 80% , 30" ,tru-peep & string loop / Wisker Bisket rest (lost 5 fps)
At 74# mine gets 275 fps with a 473 grain arrow
296 with a 400 grain arrow
My 352 grain arrows shoot 309 fps
I will hunt with it between 66-70 # and imagine it will be around 296-300 with the light arrows.
Awesome bow.........I love mine !!
