    Default speed?

    I just set one up for a guy that is somewhat close to what you have. His was 63# 28" 315 grn arrow and was shooting 304 & 305 fps. Now you can usually figure 10-15 fps + or - per inch. so that puts you around 290 at 63# and 27" draw. Just my guess

    296 according to this http://www.bucklemke.com/ke/ke.php should be pretty close, thats with 50 grains on the string.

    Mine has a peep and loop on it:

    26"
    58#
    296 gr.
    293 fps - which is a touch above the specs on the BC

    Yours should be a little over 300 is my guess.

    By my calculations,

    60#
    27"
    300gr
    15gr on string for peep/loop (could be less)
    *based on bottome of advertised range (336fps)

    You should be able to get at least 297fps with your setup. With some fine tuning and playing around with position of speed nocks and what not you may get a touch over 300fps.

    If you set your expectations in the 290-295ish range you will almost surely be happy with what you find!
