Default RE: Speed is all you need! (?)

With the relatively consistant increases in speed over the years that speed range that you are quoting as " too fast" might eventually be considered " slow" by comparison to what could potentially be obtained with new designs in limbs, strings, cams, etc.... Then a person will be able to shoot a 600 grain arrow at 270 fps and get the best of both of our worlds. What would you say to them then? Is 270 fps still too fast if there is a heavy arrow to back it up?
We' ve already got ' em, don' t we, Frank? I was getting 250 fps with 580 grain 2315' s from my old Hoyt Raider at 70 pounds with the old style Command Cams, Intruder limbs and 32" draw, using an extra long string loop. Got about the same speed with an old Darton Lightning. Hand me a brand new hotrod BowTech and I bet I could beat the devil out of that speed....
