I have a Z7 70lbs 30" draw love it but I always thought it would be cool to have a bow that you could turn down to 60lbs or less and get close to 300 fps. Any one have a super smooth bow that you are getting that out of?

Mathews Z7 Extreme....Btw....the IBOs are with extremely lightweight arrows (i think).
I just got my dad a Z7 Extreme with 29" draw and 70lbs....with the light weight arrows it was going 281 fps but with his Eastons, it was going at 260-270 fps.

I think you might want to look at PSE's for that speed

I'm getting 289 out of my Elite GT-500 28"@ 65lbs and a 371gr arrow.

If I were to shoot a ultralight arrow I'm sure it'd go over 300 @ 60lb easily.

I herd the bowtech invasion could come close to it? Not sure if there is any truth to that though. I dont know if the invasion turned down would even be as smooth as my Z7, thoughts?

Those IBO's are for a 30" draw at 70 pounds, with arrows around 5 grains per inch.

For a dual cam now it's pretty darn smooth...
