280 is great, especially from 50 pound draw weight.

SO WHAT IS BEST TO USE FOR MY BOW?

100 GRAIN MUZZY
OR
150GRAIN MUZZY

I ALSO USE EASTON EXCELL ARROWS THAT ARE ABOUT 29 1/2 IN. LONG WITHOUT THE BROADHEAD JUST ARROW AND NOCK

by the time you put a nock and a peep and all that you will be shooting much slower id say you'll be down around 250 or so and you are shooting a heavier arrow than its tested at

WHAT KIND OF ARROWS DO U USE?

THE ONLY REASON WHY I USE EXCELL IS BECAUSE THEY ARE VERY INEXPENSIVE AND I GOT TO WORK WITH WHAT I GOT RIGHT?

WHAT IS UR FPS AT?

you just slowed yourself down more with a biscuit. add knock, peep, maybe kisser, maybe a loop, maybe vibration dampners etc etc and your going to loose 30-50fps. my bow has a IBO speed of 305fps. my actual hunting rig is shooting 260fps because im shooting a heaviers arrow/head. im shooting a 28 inch draw, im shooting at 67lbs not 70, i got a knock, loop, peep, and leeches on the the string. speed isnt a killer. accuracy IS the killer. put that arrow in the pump station and forget the speed. learn to shoot it and shoot it accurately who cares how fast its going!

exactly about time someone tells me that.. thats what i tell people on here but they always say speed counts more.you need speed but if you dont know how to use it it will never work...oh yeah the whisker bisquit is still good for me because now i dont have to worry about keeping the arrow on the rest when im trying to make a difficult shot

my fps is just around 230 something because of a 27.5 inch draw and 58 lb pull
