atlasman, you need to go out and shoot all the bows you say that are out there that can shoot 340+ with a legal arrow and compare
If after that you still think they are all on an even playing field then I'm not sure about you
Bowtech made the Black Knight a few years ago that would compare in speed to the Airborne 82 but if you shoot those bows side by side I bet even you could tell a vast improvement[8D]
How long you been in archery? I still remember when bows over 200 fps were consider fast (Dang rough to do it too) and 300 fps was thought to be untouchable. Now you have bows popped 300fps and are unbelieveably quiet, smooth and shock free.
My Guardian and General both shoot in the 280's with a 25 grain heavy arrow at only 60# and 28.5" draw.
