Default What is your definition???
Definition of a speed bow? 280? 290? 300? 325? fps...
I would think anything over 280 is fast and anything 300 and up is a speed bow...

IBO or out of the bow??? 300 is getting easier and easier to get...305-310 is speed. 290 up is fast.

What the bow actually shoots I guess. Not really sure what you mean out of the bow?

IBO anything over 325 is a speed bow IMO.

If that can be acomplished with a brace height of 7 inches or more then even better.

My definition is~ the speed for 2007-2008 soon to be replace by the speed of 2009 and beyond if this makes any sense to you?

It wont be long before we are shooting a 200 grain arrow at 430fps!! Hey as long as its got a warranty right???


My opinion only, nothing against those who are speed demons!

If the critter you are shooting at is dead, doesn't matter how fast your bow is.

My defintion of a speedbow = IBO > 325 and a brace height < 7"

But WesternMdhardwods is right, our definition of a speed bow is constantly changing as bows get faster.
