    Last time I looked at limbsavers website it says my dz-32 ibo's at 345. I chronoed mine when I see shooting 340 fmj's and it was shooting around 250 or 260. That was a while ago, now I'm shooting the flatline surgicals. I also went to a 400 arrow b because I cut 2" off the total length of the arrow and went back to 100gr heads. No idea what it's shooting now.

    My Jennings Buckmaster was rated at 285ibo in 1999.Kind of weird to see. Not even sure anyone makes a bow anymore that does less than 300ibo. My girlfriends bow set up at 25.5" and 50lb will shoot the same as mine at 30" and 70lb. Crazy to see the advancements. Just thought only have the 60lb version so hers will shoot harder than mine probably.

    Maxxis 35, rated for 318fps by ATA, not IBO. I have it set to 31" draw @ 65lbs, a 405gr arrow, and Im just a hair over 300fps thru a chrono.
