Like mentioned before 7fps per pound is a little high. It all depends on what bow, cam type, limbs ect. From what Ive seen usualy 2-3fps is about right per pound.

3-7 sounds pretty excessive. The norm is about 2 fps per pound of draw., either up or down depending on which way you turn the limb bolts. Bows vary from model to model, but not that much.
You know, I first read this reply and laughed......I said ONLY 2??? Then I thought about it aminute........I was thinking of 1 turn of the limb bolts, not 1 pound per draw weight.....I stand corrected.......2-3 is more accurate. Mobow's bad.
I think we'll forgive you this mistake---this time. By your thinking, one full turn, the speed difference would probably be about 7 fps.
