My husband bottomed my DXT out and now I am drawing the full 60 lbs. I am wanting a new bow for faster arrow speeds so I can shoot heavier arrows at faster speeds for more kinetic energy. What kind of speed should I expect out of a Mathews Monster with a 6 inch brace height drawing 60 lbs shooting a 400+ grain arrow with a 25.5" draw length.

I had a monster not nearly as efficient at lower draw lengths . Bow tech insanity will Do much better at 25" . I LOVED my monster but the efficiency drops of a lot after 27 inches. -
I couldn't "technically" answer your question. However, to put into perspective, I used to shoot a 430 grain arrow out of an 85# Monst XLR8 and got speeds around 320FPS. I sold the bow and bought a new G5 Prime Centroid and now with a 410 grain arrow and 70#'s I shoot 315-320 FPS.
So in my own personal experience a Monster wasn't near as fast as they were advertised, I did like the bow and shot a lot of stuff with it, but in the end I think there are more bows that have an actual speed of more than that of a Monster.Comment

To asnwer that question you have to have had that exact experience.
If you really want to find out without someone suggesting another brand, find the closest dealer. That bow is has a modular cam. Most shops will be able to set it up for you in your draw. They will let you shoot it till you are content and have had all your queations answered.
I taught a lady to shoot and she is shooting one in 25" draw and gets around 300fps with a 360gr arrow.
Most of all she loves the bow.
You should be able to expect around 15fps more than your Drenlin.Comment

What are you planning on shooting? Seem's like the DXT should work fine with plenty of KE.Comment

Figure 10 fps per inch under 30 " . I was getting 311 out of 400 grain arrows and 343 from 350 grain arrows.I would say between 250 & 260 fps at your specs.Comment

Just for grins I bought 50 lb limbs for my XLR8, and it's a lot of fun to shoot. At 50 lbs with a 434 grain FMJ 400 I am getting 266 FPS with a 28 1/2" draw. That's not super scorching, or any of that, but it's scootin' pretty good for 50 lbs. With my 70 lbs limbs I was shooting 300s, and I can't remember how much they weigh or how fast they were going, but it hit very hard.Comment
