Kodabow makes it.
I made an inquiry about Canadian dealers and later the CEO sent me an email asking about my strings for his bows. The end result was me buying a 185 lb Koda-Express. It is 8+ lbs, casts an 350 gr arrow at 305 ft/sec, has aerospace level machining, string stoppers and a great trigger! My bows have 2.3 lb triggers and the Kodabow measured 4.3 with my Easton bow scale but with no creep! None!

Hey boo. was that speed with or without your string? 185lb draw and only 305? trigger seems heavy. You gonna work that a bit?
My 175lb with your string is doing 338fps! and thats a pretty short draw stroke.

Conceptually speaking Kodabows are not about speed, they know how to gain speed nut they are concentrating on quality, accuracy and reliability. The 185 will cast an arrow at around 305 but this is one of the last concerns. I guess you could quantify what I am saying by asking what is the actual advantage of 30 ft/sec? This is not to shoot your bow down but the difference is not much when the arrow hits the deer. I have no problem with killing a Whitetail with a bow that casts an arrow at 310 ft/sec. Hell a 125 lb bow will kill a Whitetail cleanly.
BTW, I think you have some numbers wrong.

Man I am only getting about 280 fps with my 175# Exocet. Granted, I am not using a Boo string and I shoot 125gr Muzzys. Even with these slow speeds the arrows still zip through deer.

my numbers are correct and done with a chrono. My Middleton 315 absolutely screams. 175lb draw, 335grn gold tip bolt. everytime through was between 336 and 338fps. The advantage is in 3D. I agree totally with hunting and the speed over 300fps not an issue. Guys are killing deer every fall with 45lb bows, and pass throughs at that.. I think there serious 3D xbow shooters on here looking for the absolute most flattest bow they can find.
Lets face it. they don't make 350fps bows cause no ones buying them. I'm sure a ton of them out there are shooting boo strings too.

According to the website your min arrow weight is 350 gr which is the same min weight for the DMT 375 so obviously you can go lower in your bow. Do you have any idea how low you can go?

No boo. Was told can use Gold tip laser 2's with 100grn tip. I have not gone any lower than that and thats plenty. Shoots great like that with no increased vibration, limbs good. My hunting arrows a bit heavier as i was shooting lumenoks.
