The Hoyt GM is still easily capable of 1300+ FITA's in the right hands. To reach 90m is another can of worms, you read of people managing fine at 36lb with carbons. I can just about get 90m with navigators 41lb (have about 15mm clearance sight pin over arrow) and my do they stop in the air a long time, That I believe is due mainly to the distance from eye to anchor (I have short round face) plus never been convinced that my release was the best part of my form. Have a fellow at our club similar set up to yourself can get 90m but has to reverse his sight, so going off just those two cases would say 40lb+ with alloys to keep sight out in front of the bow though it may requiring moving in toward the bow some. I'm sure others will say they can get it with a lot less!
