BM I assume you are putting me into the speed hype category, the point I am trying to make is IMO it is a mistake to buy a bow strictly due to speed hype even when there are other bows that feel better to you. To me with a modern compound there is more than enough speed for any well placed shot and more than enough KE to boot. All I am saying is it is a mistake to buy a bow that does not feel good to you simply because it is FAST!!!!! Now if the fastest bow out there is also the one that feels the best and shoots the best for you, that is a bonus, but not a neccesity(the extra speed).
