Um thats so incorrect its not funny, fastest mathews bow is the chill r and ibo's at 342 which means it is shot at 70lb 30in draw bare atring and the arrow at 350gn (5gn per pound pulled) and even then just about every manufacturer inflates figures, in saying that the chill series are awesome to shoot, shelley has given good advice, find bows in your budget then shoot as many as you can pock the one you feel comfortable with
