Default RE: Coolest gadget?

I know butI was very quick to jump on the carbon arrow thing when they first appeared.

I started shooting a loopabout 16 years ago.

I don't remember the last timeI shot a compound with fingers.

Now if they can produce a compound bow that will shoot 400 fps with a normal weight arrow and won't pull your arm out of its socket when you draw it then that will be something.

I guarantee you that I have more than one bow on my shelves right nowthat will shoot 400fps with a 5.5 gpiarrow. Problem is that an arrow that light is very hard on the bow, very loud, does not generate much KE and momentum and what it does generate it looses very quickly as it travels down range compared to a 450 grain or heavier arrow.

A 30 inch draw, 70 pounds, firing a High Country speed pro arrow with their 55 grain tip that weighs about 250 grains. A PSE X-forceand APA black mamba X1 could break 400fps.
