Well, I agree that the Manuf. should be honest and up front in their reporting about their specs on their bows, but that still will not change anything about the guy leaving the shop saying his bow shoots and arrow at 400 fps. He is either informed or not informed. The one thing we as consumers have going for us is other consumers. I have seen posts on forums like this that really helped me out on getting information and "real" specs on items. I have also seen reports on testing, that until the internet came along would have been very difficult to find out about.

But ultimatey, we still bare the responsibility for our being informed consumers and shooteers. I say this because the one thing you will rarely see or hear about is ( as others have said here ) an honest and up front marketing rep. executive.

Caviat emptor' .... let the buyer beware.
