Default RE: Where are we headed...

Pinwheel, I agree about the rethinking on 280 fps. Personally I don't care, as 280 is a good shootable point, for me. I can turn my bow down to 57# and shoot a 360 gr arrow a little over that. Nice and easy, as well as quiet. I have the capability of shooting an IBO legal arrow 35 fps over the limit, though. I'm not so sure scores would go up. Possibly in the pro ranks, but I find better consistency with my current setup, as opposed to faster.
Jeff, I agree with you, in that, arrow and broadhead technology will need to improve to utilize the advancing bow technology. There are great things to come.
I really look forward to being able to pull less and less weight, and get the same speeds. Hopefully this doesn't mean pulling 60# bows that feel like 70#ers.
I'm very happy to see manufacturers coming out with more dual cams. After shooting one for awhile now, I prefer them. Can't wait for my dual cam Patriot to arrive.
