If I understand correctly and I believe I'm right excalibur sells there xbows with a hardier type string. If you want advertised fps you would need to get the Flemish type string. And then it varies depending on weights of bolts and heads.

Only one bow in the Matrix line up falls into your understanding, the 310. :) The others do not. :( . The advertized speed on the rest of the line up was not questioned. Go to home page and click on any Matrix bow at the left and read "specifications". Good luck.

No string made is going to close the gap,. limbs are the issue :(

Pull up Easton or Gold tip and they have KE charts on their web site, figure yours out too.
