Default RE: 400 FPS ???

You will notice that they don't call it an "IBO speed rating"...nor do they list the specs that the bow was shot at. Supposedly, the bow will shoot 400 fps with an arrow that weighs around 3 grains per pound of draw weight. Would you want to shoot that light? I wouldn't.

It is a clever marketing ploy to confuse readers. Everyone always assumes that a company is listing IBO specs when they list their speeds.

Lastly, I believe it was this particular model that High Country was showing off at the ATA show. It exploded after so many shots with that 3 grains per pound of draw weight arrow.

Enough said.
