What is the world record speed from a bow now? My pro-shop owner said that it was somewhere around 575 f.p.s. [:-][:-][:-][:-] I am not sure of any details on this, but, the bows on the market can be EXTREMELY fast if tuned just for speed. Take a fast bow, put the poundage up, put the draw length up, shoot the smallest, lightest arrow possible. Twist the string as much as possible, ect..... and you will be flinging arrows at scorching speeds. Terrible for the bow, but awsome for the whole speed part.
