You can expect between 293-298 Fps with that set up.

This is with a string loop @ a peep only on your string --JP

I like that set up fits mine to a T. Can't wait to get a Hunter in myself

If you look at TimZim's thread it has some numbers that are close for you.

But if you go with a 60# bow and use Gt 400 Ul pros at about 350 Grs you can do the same 295fps.... and I assure you I get pass troughs and clean kills on my elk.. so the question is can you shoot a bow better at 70# or 60#??

I shoot better at around 65 to 70 lbs. I don't shoot well with a ton of valley and letoff though as I like to feel myself pulling against the back wall and like holding a little bit of weight while drawn so the amount of valley these modded cams have and letoff worries me. Still got to test shoot one though
