TCarson....... IBO uses a 70lb draw weight bow with a 30 inch draw and shoots a 350 grain arrow (5 grains per pound of draw weight)..... you gain about 1 fps for every 5 grains of arrow weight that you reduce.... you gain about 2 fps for every pound of increased draw weight...... draw length estimat...

I don't really know about the paradox but just from memory I think it is a 175lb compound x-bow and shoots in the 320ft /sec range.......
