Don't plan on achieving that speed with a hunting set-up. You will be looking at speed in the 270f.p.s. to 285 f.p.s. Alot depends on your draw weight, draw length, arrow weight, and what you have on the string.

www.bowtecharchery.com Now, there are a few bows on there that will easily do 315 with a hunting set-up (Lets hear from the Knights of the Round Table)

I'm shooting a High Country Split One X1 with the Dead Stop Hatchet Cam, 30" draw pulling 65lbs. Oh by the way the bow is 5 years old. My arrows are 417 Grain 29.75" Carbon Express Terminator Select 4560's. And I manage to get them flying at 260fps.
