With my recurve and a lot less power than you have, I have no problem reaching 70 metres at all.

Actually hitting something that doesn't scream...now that's another matter...

AXIS FMJ's are quite a lot heavier than acc's, hence the OP's question.

Also sight marks between a recurve and compound aren't comparable, as compound archer's in general anchor a lot higher than the under the chin recurve anchor, and hence with a heavy arrow and too high an anchor its easily possible that a compound archer might not be able to make 90m, whilst a recurve with acc's, even tho they are much slower, should be able to get a sight mark in general.

With regards the original question, you'll have no problems at 70m. At 90 that depends on your nock to peep height at full draw, which in turn depends on your anchor and the dimensions of your head! I can get an ok 90m sightmark using 500 fmj's with 100grn points in off of 60lbs, but i have a small head which means its still quite low.
