WoW that calc is very good.  Mathews Z-7 Extreme.  Last year was 340ics 100g at 420grains.  Bow at 69lbs and 28"draw resulted in average of 282fps.  Which is darn near perfect in my book.  New setup 350maxima 125g shuttles shoots better but no chrono yet.

Wow.. mines a lot higher than I thought it would be with my new Mathews.

27" @ 68 lbs. = 287 fps and 67 ft-lbs

It used to be 217 fps and 38 ft-lbs.  I'm stoked.

With a little more tuning I was able to get a little more speed and KE:

Hoyt Vector Turbo, 29 1/2" draw, 70 lbs, 468 grain Easton FMJ, 291FPS = 91.41 LBS of KE.

I can't wait to see what this does to a Moose this Sept!
