I am shooting an '08 Katera with a 29" DL and 65 lb DL. My arrows are Carbon Express Maxima Hunter 350 with 100gr field points. All nocks are what came on the arrows. They all have 3 2" blazer vanes. I'm also shooting through a QAD dropaway rest. The only silencers on my strings are 2 string leeches. Currently I'm getting 281 FPS out of this setup. I personally don't have a problem with it as its more than enough for any type of hunting that I will be doing. However, I've read alot of threads about people who are shooting similar setups and getting speeds closer to 300 FPS or even faster in some cases. Even at 70 lbs DL I was only getting 291 FPS. Again, I'm not concerned about it, just curious. Any thoughts? Or is this in line with what you guys are seeing?

I had new Winners Choice strings put on in January. As far as I know everything is timed correctly. Anybody have any ideas on potential tuning needs?

got a feeling you need a little tuneup . axis nanos 413 grains 68 pounds two string things (hoyts) 303fps. people don't understand them string things weigh 40 grains they are on their for speed just like speed nocks . I loose speed 6fps when I took them off .

You are pretty close. I have a 29" Katera maxed out at 62.5 lbs. I'm getting 284 fps with a CE Maxima 350 - it weighs 410 grains total.
