Any guesses as to what the speed will be. I am calling 377fps.

Way too fast and aggressive for me.
Probably has a 5" or shorter brace height.

One or two fps. faster then PSE's new one would be my guess.... just hope it is a whole lot quieter.

 Pending on what rating system they use this year...ATA-IBO
For those with questions regarding ATA/IBO velocity: ATA speeds are 70 lbs, 30 in. draw at 5 grains per lb. IBO speed is commonly believed to also be tested at 70/30. However, in actuality, the IBO standards allow for speeds to be tested at poundages as high as 82 lbs as long as the arrow is at 5 grains per lb.
With ATA spec it supposed to be real speed real numbers...
For ATA, the bow can be set to 50, 60 or 70 lbs of draw weight with only +-0.1 lb. variance and a draw length of 30″, +- 1/4″, also with only one nock set on the string. The arrow must be exactly 5 grains per pound of draw weight. Because it is a more restrictive spec, it gives an overall better view of what speeds a bow can really reach.
IMHO both are realistically out to lunch for the average shooter ATA will be most accurate with a standard...
It will be fast regardless, they do have some of the fastest bows out there

Remember that speed does not equal performance.
A bow might go 377 fps but if it is not shootable to a reasonable degree it will fail.
I can still kill just as effectively at 315 fps and I can shoot my bow all day long.

I know. But as well if u are good enough to shoot it it can work for you. It is just interesting to see how far they can push the boundarys which can only improve their other bows. I shoot a 2009 APA MAMBA MX2 340 IBO and a 7 3/8ths brace height and have no plans to shoot anything else ever. Plus my wife brought it for me.
Does anyone think it might crack 380fps??

So there is an off chance it might be as fast as LAST YEARS PSE Full Throttle?  . I owned a 2009 HCA Speed Pro, and at 28 3/8" dl I was getting 384 fps through the chrono with a 7" brace height! A few guys around here at 30" were well over 400 fps. Just saying speed isn't everything

The APA has 5 inch brace....not as shootable as our SpeedPro bows were.

Ya, you had the fastest one that I knew of. It was always 2-3 fps faster than the others.
