Ive got a 2009 PSE bow madness xs drawing 60lbs. This bow is adjustable 50-60lbs. Shooting about 300fps now. Ive ordered and am awaiting a custom string set from wallacebrook archery but Im curious what else if anything can make this tiny little baw any faster. Dont get me wrong I love the bow as is but a little more zing wouldnt hurt...

Heck, your at 300 FPS with a hunting bow .... what more do you need ?? :tongue: ..... Going with a lighter arrow will let you pick up a few FPS, but at risk of loosing penetration...... Best way would be a heavier poundage, if you can handle it .....

For bow hunting 300fps is fantastic...for target shooting, you can always go with a 300gr arrow, which would give you more speed.

A Turbow could be used...don't know if 20fps or so is worth the money though.

Well Ill have to get my buddy to drag out the chrono again. I dont want to be known as the BS'r after one post. Arrrow are 300 grn carbon force with 100 and 125 grn rage practice tips with 30" draw arrows weigh 380 and 411 grns respectively.

i shoot the standard bow madness and with a 29" draw at 66lbs and my hunting arrows are 371grains, Just shot them thru the chrono friday night at 299-301fps
My target arrows are 330grain and i get 314fps from them.
So if i were you i'd be extremely happy with your preformance at 60lbs!

I just got a Bow madness XS last week with the stock string (with a peep tube), and string silencers, 29" draw, 68.5 lb draw weight, and a 420 grain arrow. With this setup i was only chronoed at 260 fps. But, i'm happy with it.
