well thinking bout turning up the poundage

[Battle Ready]

I got the majority of my elk when i was shooting a whopping 239fps. That was with an 80lb  hoyt supreme.  After all of that..its easy to say its super easy to get caught up in justifying " more speed"or like tim taylor from tool time used to say...more power..uhh uhhh uh. Remember how that worked  for him..lol

Spending time practicing the ART of archery is far more reliable than counting on the SCIENCE of archery...without one..the other cannot happen.

I shot it through a chrono. A 28.5" arrow w/ a 27n draw. Arrow weighs 423 to 435 grains

Sounds like that is a camo shaft   Could you give me some details on your arrow.  Like fletching, wrap, etc.  And you are sure you have the Destroyer 350 and not the 340?  Numbers even look a little slow if shooting the 340 with camo Axis 340's at 65#/27".  Spine looks great though.

I find PSE's to miss the mark on FPS projections by quite a bit, but Bowtech is usually awful darned close.  Sure would like to find out what the deal is.  Though archery chrono's are known to vary about 10 fps from one to the next.  45 fps seems a little extreme.

Do you have a good pro shop with people you trust close by?

Yup its the 350. It is 9.5gr/in axis nanos (not camo) blazer wrap and has 4 blazer fletchings.

That is just plain weird.  10 grains heavy on what your arrow should be (that's a lot of glue) and 30 fps slow.  I'd have someone with a real good knowledge of Bowtechs take a look at your bow.  Cams might be a bit out of whack.  You really should be above 270.

That being said...If you are shooting it well I'd still leave it where it is on poundage.  260 is plenty to kill just about everything in North America with a good sharp broadhead.  Good luck to ya

Well i had a cam modual replaced cuz the little pin broke off it and the archery sho said it was out of time after he replaced it, he got it back into time so ya think that would have something to do with the speed? Its my first speed bow so its new too me.

I've broke that little pin a few times too.  Shoots fine with just one, but that is a weak part of that cam.  They make them with an interference fit.  Sometimes it's a little much for such a small thread size.

That cam is insanely good at keeping it's time regardless of things you might do while shooting.  But, it has to be "In Time"  from the start to fully transfer effeciency and energy.  I would have it double checked just to be sure.  Octane strings are very good, but there is always a chance something could have changed.  Especially since Bowtechs just aren't often off the mark on projected speeds.  It happens, but not often.
