Amen to that, the slowest bow that I have owned (Hoyt MT Sport) was a awsome bow and it was shooting at a whopping 244 f.p.s. with my set-up, nowhere near the 295-296 f.p.s. that my Old Glory is getting but it was still a good quality bow and it was a pleasure to shoot.
Again, You long armed guys @ 30" drawcan get 300fps+ out of a top line bow, while I shoot a hunting arrow @ 270fps@28" and 68lbs. Thats not terribly fast and it's the same bow u shoot.Even if I could get 300fps. out of a bow I wouldn't because that wouldmean using a 300gr. arrow or less for hunting, and that's just not a good idea IMO.
I buy a fast IBO bow because I'm shorter than you. If I could get more speed, I'd put it toward arrow weight and penetration power anyway.
Besides that ,you can't tell me that you don't feel more confident shooting a bow that will eliminate range estimation variables that would otherwise cause you to miss or wound an animal.
Just my opinion.
