30" draw, 71.1 lbs, 388 grain arrow, smooth mod (originally posted fast mod, its got an S on it, thought it was speed at first), nothing on the string except a g5 peep and a loop. 301 fps average.

Ok! Here's the numbers on my General. I did play with the tuning, but it didn't take much. These numbers come from my digital grain scales and my digital Pro Chrono.
60# at 28.5" draw

27" Maxima 250= 326 grains shoots 283 fps giving 57.99# KE

27" FMJ 400= 497 grains shoots 233 fps giving 59.93# KE

I'm satisfied with that
