Frank, that word ' IF' is a tiny little thing, but it' s got a lot of meaning to it.

It' s true that " IF" many people practiced more, they could handle faster equipment. Only problem is, most don' t (or won' t) make time for practice. Dedicated bowhunters and archers shoot because they enjoy it, but the vast majority of people in the woods these days are NOT dedicated bowhunters. Most are absolutely NOT dedicated archers. To them, it' s nothing more than a way to get out in the woods before gun season. Shooting for practice sounds like work to them rather than something to get out and enjoy just for it' s own sake.

High speed is fine for those that enjoy it and are good enough to handle it. Problem is, they are a small fraction of all those that hit the woods. For those of you that are good enough, congratulations. Us mere mortals stand in awe of your prowess.

I' ll make a deal with whoever thinks everyone needs speed. I' ll shoot your high speed bow if you' ll take a 10 mile hike wearing my size 15 AA boots. Then we can sit back and discuss how certain things fit certain people and not fit others at all.
