I don't understand why all people are worried about anymore is speed. Accuracy is what counts so grab the bow that feels better in your hands and can comfortably shoot.It has nevermattered how fast you miss. My first bow would shoot about 195 FPS and I have never downed more deer with any of the faster ones I have had. and that bow was about the most comfortable bow I ever shot as far as being a smooth draw and little to no hand shock after the shot.
Nobody said that is whats the most important. But when you compare the bows from each company theses days they are all excellent shooting bows capable of shooting way better than you or I can. They ALL have next to no vibration and shock at the shot. My 07 Allegiance is the fastest and best shooting bow I have ever owned. So this tiresome " I rather hit slowly than miss quickly" is not an argument that holds water any more. The latest most modern developments from all the bow companies always provide the best speeds. If you can shoot a bow properly you can do it wether its a slow bow or fast one. If you can't shoot well it doesn't matter what bow you shoot. Having said this remember that the extra speed flattens trajectories and can compensate for distance judgement errors. To follow your slower is better way of thinking people would turn the weight down on thier bows and shoot better right? I find those that sing that mantra just plain have slower older bows.
