    Default Z28 speed for gf

    My gf z28 is set at 27.5 in draw at 60 lbs and shooting around a 360 grain arrow. Does 260fps sound right for her setup? only a loop and meta peep on string.

    Thanks

    Mine is 71lbs shooting a 390grn arrow at 280fps. 260fps at 60lbs is darn good. Thats pretty good KE for sure.

    Is it an '09 or '08? I see on AT that you think it is slow? You lose 30fps for the draw, another 20 for the arrow weight and about 6 for the loop and peep. That IBO's at about 316.

    Thats around 54.05 KE. Not bad and should harvest most any deer with a fixed broadhead.

    My Z shoots a 360 gr. at 276 fps.
    It has a peep and loop.

    If you would subtract 15 fps for my draw being 1.5" longer, I'd say 260 fps is right there.
    We don't want to lose that "one customer at a time" approach. We are growing quickly, and make some mistakes, but we appreciate every dealer and every customer who ultimately buys the bow. Have a great day guys!

    Don't forget that a 60lb bow is rated about 5fps slower than a 70lb bow.

    That's why I deducted 30 for draw length instead of 25. The bow sounds like it's shooting fine to me.
