280 is great, especially from 50 pound draw weight.

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?

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!
