nice bow hope ya have fun and good luck with it! Shoot it through a crono and you'll really know how fast it is. 345fps is kinda fast with a hunting setup.My guess it's prob around 300 310 fps.Not triing to bad mouth your bow just all them numbers are at lightiest arrow highest pound bla bla.My x force at 70# is 305fps with my setup.If yours is faster your gonna have lots of fun .Next year they'll have bows that shoot " 400fps" really 350fps.lol

Ya the IBO speeds are usually out of whack pretty good but in comparison to my Martin sabre @IBO of 280 its a big step up!!!

All I know is that when I release the shot at 20 yards I cant see it fly its just in the target.

I would expect 310 -320 hopfully!!!

Mike where did you buy this bow? I didn't think there was a Martin Pro Shop in Edmonton and did you get a good price? I'm thinking about the Firecat or the Slayer X. I currently shoot a Cheetah but I'm getting a little selfish and fantasizing about another Martin.
