If you're really concerned about speed, why are you shooting 4" feathers?

Black Stick, be very careful. Do not push the envelope. Yes, one shot with too light an arrow can ruin your new bow. Your bow is a bow, not a crossbow. Shooting arrows below 5 grains per pound is a recipe for disaster, shooting an arrow less than 300 grains is very dangerous. It is obvious that you really do not have a good understanding of the mechanics and physics of shooting a compound bow.
I admit that I do not understand the physics of compound bows. I have never built one. I have only tuned and attached parts to my own equipment.

To save yourself some grief I can tell you, right now, how fast that 285 grain arrow will go out of your bow.

375-385 fps.

There, now you know and you don't have to break your bow to find out.
Alright, you guys have convinced me that it's a bad idea. Thanks BigBulls for giving me those figures. I don't know how you got them, but they are very impressive and exactly what I wanted to know. 375 FPS would be amazing. Someday that may be the norm, but why would you need it every shot? You wouldn't. I a guy that likes to test stuff out (science mind, I guess). I am not going to try this one though. With everyone telling me no, and no one saying yes, it's gotta be bad. I give up. I'm sticking with what I already have, which isn't ad at all.

Now that I have drug this out for this long, I have to ask a new question. What arrow mass would achieve maximum momentum (Momentum=Mass•Velocity)?
