    Thats pretty darn good speed and good arrow for hunting if thats what your wanting to do. What are you using the arrow for? Hunting or tournament and what type of tournament?

    I lived in Maryland all my life up until 3 years ago. With the weight your pulling and the arrow your shooting that is awsome speed and more than enough for any hunting situation you will come across in MD or the surrounding states.

    Thumbs up Good speed

    I ran a quick (rough) check through the calculator, and you're making good speed well within IBO. Way more than enough to get the job done.

    I shoot 29 inch draw 65 pounds with easton flatline arrows. My current speed is in the mid 320 range. If you shoot lighter arrows you will shoot faster. I killed a nice buck last year at 75 yards. I got a pass through at that distance and my arrows are super light.
