Are you inferring that, it's not size that matters, but how you use it.

Or, to quote a very old "Bensen & Hedges" commercial:

281 fps with that weight arrow seems a little high :? . The best your gonna get from a 150# Vixen with a 325 grain arrow and a quality string is 285-287 fps. :) Good luck.
Well Amigo's,,,here's the plan,,first and foremost,,locate a forward riser,,,Strum has offered to send me a good string that will add to the equation,,then go from there,,,don't know how hard it will be to find a 350 total grain arrow,,but that's the direction I'm headed with arrows,,,I have a pretty good stash on Magnus Buzzcuts,,they fly absolutely great,,and cut great,,it's gonna be interesting and fun

That depends on what the string weighs. If it's a light Angel EL, which weigh half of factory string it's entirely possible.

I'd keep it the way it is if it were me. Those Vixens are tack drivers. No need for more speed. I think the Ontario record for archery moose is still held by a Vixen. Correct me if I'm wrong...
