All that speed has to come from somewhere. You might notice that Mathews bows ain't nearly as fast as Bowtech or even Hoyt....but they draw much smoother....well....thats why. Hard to have your cake and eat it too. But, I'd rather have a "slow" bow at 270 than a fast bow at 330 I couldn't draw.

At 26"...its pretty rough on you to find speed. I know that Bowtech makes a bow thats designed specifically for shorter draw archers that is supposed to be pretty nice. I think HCA and Elite do as well.
