Default what do you like

what bow would you hunt with a quiet and very accurate bow let say 250 fps to 288fps or
a fast bow not as accurate let say 290 fps to 325fps

There is no substitute for accuracy, none.

I personally think speed is overrated unless you are regularly shooting out to yardageswith which youhave jumping the string concerns and arrow drop concerns.Or unless it is just something you enjoy.Most of my shots are 25 yards and under and ANY of todays bows can handle that. I've never even chronoed my bow, I justknow it is deadly.

I shoot a bow thats around 220 fps but very acurate for me. I have yet to see the need to spend what they want for new compounds

I would rather have the accuracy over speed. But if you get either the 82nd or the 101st you get both

Accurate and quiet 250-288 is still more than enough speed.Thats really all you need to have as longas your arrow has enough KE behind it.

i think accuracy depends a lot more on the shooter than the bow! Just watch t-bone on realtree outdoors

Is there a premise that a faster bow is not as accurate?

I agree there is no subsitute for accuracy, I would rather have a little bit slower bow and a quieter one then one that shoots 350fps.

Fast is harder to group if you don't practice. A fast bowis supposed to be less accurate or harder to shoot, my X Force is that way, but only b/c Im not used to it yet, Im getting better with it though. Before long I will be shooting fairly well I hope and the speed won't be an issue. I just like speed, don't need it, just like it!!
