I'm bringing this up only due to speed addicts. I've often said that there is no need for more speed once you peak at the upper end of 200 fps into lower end 300's...alot of people strive for that magic 300 fps and back in 96 when I bought my first competition bow I thought it was important as well. After learning that there is no difference in pin gap, windage adjustments on moveable sights etc and fixed pin sights....I've since come to the conclusion that it's so not necessary. Matt/PA even pointed out changes in his configuration at different speeds but bringing in human influence and not out of a shooting machine I've again found there is no difference between 285 and 305 fps on my Toxonic adjustable....

When I shot my Tox on my Vortec backed down to 68 lbs shooting 285 fps I zero'd my 20 yards and set my pin at 10 on the scale. At 30 yards my setting would be 13 and at 40 yards it would be 16 making only 3 marks per 10 yards....at 50 yards I'd have to move it 4 marks to 20 on the scale.....when shooting 3D tourneys I know my exact distances on my scale 20, 30, 40, and 50 yards would be 10, 13, 16 and 20 respectable on the scale.

Now I have my Allegiance shooting 305 fps and while I'm waiting on my Viper Predator Pro-MT sight I put my Tox on my Bowtech. In the last weeks I've owned the bow I sighted it in and zero'd my 20 yards and set my sight on 10 of the scale. I zero'd it in for 30 yards and it would be 13 on the scale, 40 yards would be 16 on the scale and 50 yards, yup 20 on the scale.

Believe me after shooting competition for so long and bowhunting more than 23 years, I've been know to shoot....Just yesterday I busted another ACC aiming for it at 40 yards..that gets expensive.

SO at 285 fps up to 305 fps my scale never changes in gap....so a bow shooting these speeds will have the same gap on a fixed pin setup....I know this as well from my bows in the past....when I move a sight from one bow to another all I need to do is zero the 20 yard pin and the 30, 40, and 50 yard pins gaps never change regardless of speed over 275 up to 300's.....again, human influences and not a shooting machine....

SO....if you agree or disagree these findings don't lie out of my bows and I'll never worry about shooting as fast as possible...this is one reason I slightly back down my bows to shoot a comfortable poundage and slow the bow down.....if your not shooting 300, don't worry about it and be happy with your setup....

Okay, let the contridictions begin.

PS, this is the same findings with the guys I shot competition with. When the 4 of us showed up to a shoot, one of the 4 of us would end up winning with the other 3 following close behind regardless of which one of us won.

One guy shot a Tox like mine and the other two shot Sure Locs....regardless of speed the difference between 20, 30 and 40 on the scale would be 3 lines on the scale and 4 lines to 50....
