The speed ring on your Tact Zone scope is not an actual indicator of arrow speed, rather is controls the variable power setting. You are good to go, no worries.

My Vixen speed ring is set at 305, when it shoots a measured 280fps. My Matrix 380 is set at 360, when it shoots a measured 345fps. The speed ring is a staring point for your sighting in, you dial in the measured speed, then fine tune the speed ring to get your other aim points. Don't worry about speed, so long as you're accurate. Even if your bow was shooting 300fps, that's plenty fast!

Does the FPS ring only adjust the 30, 40, 50 and 60 yard indicators or does it have an affect on the 20 yd as well?
