I know my 60 pound ProTec shoots the same arrow every bit as fast as my 80 pound ProVantage did. Getting the same performance at much less draw weight is very nice on the shoulders now that I'm getting OLD and gimpy. But you've gotta admit there is a lot more swell-chested bragging about arrow speed these days than on any other aspect of archery or bowhunting.
Probably but more speed is a great thing to have if YOUR accuracy isn't sacrificed
I don't go for the extra speed with light arrows, I use the extra speed that it gives my heavy arrows for hunting. My current 484 grain hunting arrows are going 257 fps and quietly. Just looking at the 257 fps won't get much attention but 71 lbs. K.E. from the 60 pound bow is the best benefit for me
I'm getting old too, working on the boy's car today found me getting up off the shop floor MUCH slower than I used to[:@]
