Default RE: How much speed needed to open up?

Some of the Rockets that have the ears recommend speed minimums,supposedly the speed helps with the blades springing open quicker.



I am not sure if it is true,but I remember when Arthur was asking about the success people had with the expandables,the ones with speed seemed to be more succesful with them.Not scientific,I know but there were alot of responses to that thread and it was interesting.It could be just that speed bows(high ibo)have more ke by default but there were plenty shooting the Steelheads(as i do) with low energy setups with great results.



47#'s is low and if the draw length is around 29" or more,a Steelhead would do fine(they penetrate better than most 3 bladedfixed heads)

I am not sure about the rage heads,I am kinda interested in the 3 blade model.Might have to get a pack and do some testing.
