Stalker has some nice Bows, glad to see someone else trying traditional bows.
You are right at 10.5 grains per pound with your current arrow setup. Typical arrow weight range is from 8 to 11gpp so your on the top end. (most) bow manufacturers allow as low as 8 grains per pound without voiding any warranty (check yours) with that said, if you wanted some more speed you could drop down in total arrow weight say around 450grns you should see a marked improvement in speed and arrow cast.
Stick with it, its a whole new experience shooting a stickbow.

I would like to get one to play with. I was at the bow shop today and saw a stalker hanging up back by the re curves. Nice looking bow, stood out compared to the others. Of course that could have been the price tag.
Like I said they are nice bows. I went by there earlier this year and Bruce knows I'm a trad bow shooter, as soon as I got in the store he made sure that I shot one, they are smooth.
Ever since I shot Jimmy's stalker I was hook and now that's all I shoot. I'm actually going to shoot victory vaps through the longbow and they are going to be somewhere around 500gr to pick up some speed. I was shocked how fast this bow was compared to my other stalker. I didn't know longbows were that fast and quiet.
