I am going to order a 2010 Sentinel FLX in a couple of weeks. I have always shot a 70 lb bow but I am thinking of dropping back to a 60lb set up. I only hunt deer and turkey so I don't really need all that poundage, plus alot of my hunting is in cold weather and it is getting a bit tougher in my old age to pull back 70 after I have been in the stand for a few hours on a 15 degree day. Does any abody have a ball park idea of what kind of speed I would get at 60lbs, 28.5" draw length and a arrow wieght inbetween 5.5 to 6 grains per pound?
Thanks
Brian

i am going to say in the neighborhood of 290 to 300fps. but i really couldnt tell you for sure. i know as a genral rule you loose about 10fps every inch of draw you go down. :noidea:
