Quick, if you do not think bows have changed in the last 10 or 15 years. Well!! There is no Hope for you. The bows today are faster, quieter, and way more shock free. In 1981 I attended a Big Archery Jamboree. They had a speed tent set up where 100's of bows were shot through a chrono over the weekend. There was less than 10 bows that broke 200 fps that weekend. Do you think that would happen today? They also said300fps could not be reached. Hummm???

How long you shot bows anyway, King?[8D]

I bet 400fps will be hit quicker than most people imagine and with a very shootable bow.

My Guardian is shooting 280 fps at 28" draw and only 60# shooting a 330 grain arrow. That bow is by all intents as quiet or quieter than any of my recurves were.

In the late 80's it was a challenge to get short draw archers up to the ASA speed limit of 280. Not so anymore, even with 60#

The king must jest![8D]
