RE: My General is too slow.
I Have The General with a 29" draw set at 70#, and im not having that problem! Maybe 2" at the most if that from 20 to 30. My bow is shooting 291 fps, I have a custom string on it and the G5 peep, picked up a little speed with each cause i have the smooth mod setup. Look through everything close and make sure nothin is wrong, like everyone else said something dont sound right

RE: My General is too slow.
WOW I would say you have a problem somewhere! I am shooting my General at 62# 300Gr arrow and I might see 2" drop at 30 yards from 20 yards max. Im shooting 300FPS.One thing I did notice today with the light arrows shooting outside the further away from the target I got if the wind blew so did my arrow and it would be way off!

RE: My General is too slow.
I traded the Generaltonight forthe 82nd airborne. I shot the general thru a chrono tonight at 29", 70lbs, 252 gr arrow at 280fps. Shot the same arrow thru the 82nd at 29" and 65lbs at 311fps. Obviously, that's not comparing apples to apples but sometimes I like a good orange! 
It's not tuned yet, will work on that tomorrow. I'm anxious to see what the difference it between 20-30yds now. The small brace height will take some getting use to. Nearly a 2" difference from the General.

That seems like a pretty light arrow to me, considering your set-up.
