I doubt it is slowing you down more than 2 or 3 fps.

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

I' m shooting a Legacy. 55 pounds with a 29" arrow. Peep sight and D loop on string, arrow weight is 490 grains. Speed is 230fps. Good stats for me.

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.

i am more concerned about getting the bow quiet.the speed is not important unless you can make one shoot over 1000fps.until you shoot faster than the speed of sound!

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 !!

you lost speed with your bisket? i never heard of that. I guess it makes sense do to the friction.
