Default RE: Where are we headed...

Fun question RB...

ASSUMING, and this is a BIG ASSUMPTION, that the shootability remains at those increased speeds, I don't see why i would not be shooting at that speed.

Ona more relaistic level though, I think after a certain point for bowhunting purposes the increased speed is not worth the tradeoff. It will very likely boil even more down to perosnal shooting form.

However we are going to see a need for more precision in other areas....Tuning and Arrow Shaft quality especially, broadhead tolerances, etc..those are the things that will become big factors. A bow hooting 370 FPS is NOT going to tolerate a less than spined well shaft, or an arrow that is several grains different in weight than the one you tuned it with...any slight out of straightness on the broadhead ferrules will become magnified, fletching will need to impart greater conttrol, etc.

I shoot Mech's now, but I suspect I would definitely be shooting Mech's with more cutting diameter. The devestation is incredible now, but the entrance and exit wounds can ALWAYS be bigger <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
