Dear Mr. Speed Bow:

You're gonna have to be up over 320fps for me to put you in that category.

I'm thinking over 300, although 280-290 ain't no slouch.

It really wouldn't be a "speed bow" post if I didn't throw my 2 cents in...

I'd say for this year .....300+



It's scary to think what we will see in the next 10 years with speed from the compounds ....
