Where are we headed...
...and what will YOU do when we get there.
Each year, technology advances a few more steps, bring us closer and closer to blazingly fast and shootable bows. Look what the speeds and braces have done in the last five years. Look ahead to the next five years. We could conservatively have an 8" brace bow giving us a shootable 370 fps. It made me shudder just to type that...
So, when we get there, what will you do? I've seen MANY of you profess that while your bow is capable of more, you choose to shoot a heavier arrow at around 270-80 fps because it is "a good hunting set up". When the IBO rating on your bow is 370, will you still shoot the same weight arrow as you do now, only 30-40 fps faster? What will this do to your broadhead flight? Will you switch to 2"+ cut mechanicals to get good flight and HUGE blood trails with the ensured penetration the KE you'll be flinging will provide? Or will you up the arrow weight, and stay in the 280 fps range, because it is a "good hunting set up". Can you imagine 600 grain arrows at 280 fps? Another shudder...
Speculate, guesstimate, what will you do?
