Default RE: speed?

Speed doesn't mean much by itself. For it to be a good hunting rig, you have to be able to answer 'yes' to these 4 questions. Is the bow tuned properly? Have you got sharp broadheads? Can you put each arrow where you want them under hunting conditions? Is it quiet enough to keep from scaring an animal out of it's skin before the arrow gets there?

I've taken game with bows that shoot a heckuvalot slower than 243 fps.

But you left outa couple of important details if you want a comparison on how your arrow speed rates to others. What is your draw length? How much do your arrows weigh?
