I will agree High Country is being misleading in their speed claims. The arrow they shot was 225 gr. If all you wanted to do was say I shoot over 400 fps, that works. If you want to keep your bow and equipment in one piece, that' s questionable. The 225 gr arrow would be absolutely worthless for hunting, IMO. Anyone buying this bow, expecting to get the speed advertised, will be very disappointed when they shoot an arrow of reasonable weight. But at least the bow might survive.
