Ausie, I guess my last post on this topic, was in response to the first sentence in you second last post.

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote<font size=1 face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica' id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote> Once again a topic has been changed from the original to a heavy v light arrow.<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica' size=2 id=quote>

I just wanted to state my opinion that the weight of the arrow does have some merit in this topic.

I agree with you that it is a shame that one of the biggest factors that many people (and unfortunately many beginners) look at as being the most important factor in buying a bow is speed. It is also a shame that companies advertise speed and promote it so much. But I guess that if that is what people want, that is where the R&D is going to be directed, and changes in designs are going to focus on getting that arrow to fly faster. I wish however that the companies don't forget about us &quot;silly&quot; guys who are looking for different things in a bow. I, for one prefer a longer Axle to Axle, with some decent sized limbs, but there are not many being made out there anymore. Now I know that there are a lot of good shooters here, so please don't take this the wrong way. But speed is hard to control, and I think that many would agree to that. And I know that there are many people that feel that they can control all of that speed, when really they can't. It's a shame that the beginner archer is fooled into believing all this hype to buy the fastest bow out there.

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote><font size=1 face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica' id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote> Too many people worry about how fast a bow is instead of the shoot ability of they bow and their own capabilities.

I agree.
