I also shot a 405grn arrow at 275 & a 430grn arrow at 264. All in all that's not bad for 65# and a 27 1/2" draw. This Hoyt is a very smooth shooter! These are light arrows but hit hard with heavy FOC! Punishing penetration! (grin) Thanks everyone!

Elk Nut you made a good point by how much those few add grains slowed it down . I believe with hunting bows they should rate them with six grains per inch insted of ibo. Those Hoyts are sweet bows !.
