Looking for one rated around 430fps.

In 2018 I purchased a Centerpoint Specialist 370 XL. It's my first and only crossbow. I had Jerry with South Shore Archery make me some Spynall Taps, and have been shooting Decimators with 100 gr Slick Trick crossbow broadhead. I recently replaced the string and cable, and upgraded to a Vortex crossfire II 2-7 X 32 crossbow scope. It doesn't shoot anywhere near 370fps.

Ive started looking for another good quality budget priced bow with a speed rating of 430 fps. I want to be able to stretch my shots out to 60 yards. I'm currently limiting myself to 40 yard shots. Ive heard both good and bad things about Killer Instinct and that CP has moved away from Mankung making their bows now. Im not sure what brands and crossbows I should be looking at. Some great knowlegable advice from guys here at CBN is needed and welcomed.
