As long as I can maintain accuracy, I want my setup to be as fast as humanly possible. I'm more concerned with bow noise as I draw the bow back as opposed to noise caused by the shot. I'll never shoot fast enough to beat a deer's reflexes[&:]. I have a short draw length, so smaller braceheights do not bother me. The shortest bh bow I've ever owned was also one of my favorites-a Bowtech Blacknight Dually @ 5 3/4". When I first saw my Equalizer's birth certificate-289fps ibo @26", 50#, I got giddy.
Archery is as individual as a sport can be. MY preference is for the scorchers to make up for the lack of draw weight and length. And I do quite well with them, despite the negative generalizations speed bows have.
