308 to 310 that should be faster than the IBO speed on that bow..anyhow that being said the lx is a sweet bow and also very forgiving with the brace height being longer I use to shoot one and loved it if you can't sell it on here for your price id give craigslist a shot and definately wouldn't go much lower on the price..good luck on your sell

I chronographed my Z-Max one time at 347 fps and the IBO speed on it is 320 fps. and shot a MQ1 for a long time at 310 fps and the IBO on it was 308. They'll do what the specs say they'll do if you know how to make them do it and that one being 30" getting IBO speed out of it would be a snap.:tu:

If you want to really get schooled on the subject matter then all you got to do is make a post on AT telling all of those people over there how it is impossible for any of them to get IBO speed out of their hunting set ups.That will start a riot in about two seconds.:laugh:

Okay here's how it works.IBO speed is measured at 70 pounds with a 30" draw, one brass nock on the string, and a 350 grain arrow.Any other weight you add to the string should be subtracted from your total arrow weight if you wish to maintain IBO speed.Most Mathews bows will max out around 73 pounds if the specs are right so that will give you a little extra speed right there.Plus you can even shorten your axle to axle length by twisting the strings and cables.That will give you even more poundage.There aint nothing impossible about it.Like I said, you just got to know how to do it.

I was shooting 2314 Super Slam Selects out of my Z-Max at 290 fps.When I cronographed it a smart ass friend of mine laughed and told me I was shooting a sissy bow because he was shooting 303 fps out of his piece of chit Browning.I said let me borrow one of your arrows.He was shooting little light ass Carbon Express 200's with 70 grain nibbs.I slung that sucker out of mine and it sounded like a gun just went off in the shop.That's when the chrono read 347 and that's also when he shut the %*#! up. :laugh:
