At the trad shoots I attend, most folks don't pay much attention to fps. Extremely rare to see a chronograph. I'm thankful for that.

My bow shoots about 162 GTQ/sec.
GTQ = gets there quick.

Long as I can pull this bow
Long as I can hike the hills and walk among the trees
I keep on trying
My goals are high but I don't care
The fun is in the getting there, it justifies the end
So try, try again

This discussion is meaningless unless we specify arrow weight.

You can shoot 250 with a trad bow @ 5 grains per pound. Sounds like a .22 rimfire and bow won't last long but you can do it if you want to

I had a 56@28 Predator that shot a 28 3/4 inch 2216 with 145 up front at 176 fps. Thats pretty good considering I draw a smidge over 27 and 2216's are in the neighborhood of 12 grains per inch.

I have an A&H ACS, 62" limbs on a 16" RC riser that makes a 64" bow 50@30. With 460gr Goldtips, 9.2gr per pound, I consistently get 205 with my 30" draw.

I can't say IBO spec is the most logical way to test a trad boy as it wont last long at those specs 70# at 28", 350 grain arrow.
But the new Belcher bows SSR limbs averaged 255 fps. Can't wait to see what it can do at 53#ish and at least a 450 grains. I think it will be even more smokin on a Monster Bows Aluminum Riser.
