Default RE: Why does some people want a speed bow?

ORIGINAL: bow huntert

My bow is an 2004 model, why do some people by a new faster bow every year?
I'm not one of them. The bow I hunt with is a '97 model. The reason I don't have a new one yet is because I can't find a new one that matches my old one as far as meeting my needs.

I shoot 66 lbs @ 275 fps. I use/prefer fixed pins, 4 of them, 20-50. I like a smooth draw and a non-critical valley. I have a long DL and many modern bows will meet my needs and achieve the 275 fps. I use fixed blade BH's and don't want to exceed 275.

Most of the bows I've tried had one or more things that I didn't like... harsh draw..... crashing into the valley..... draw stop making a string slap noise..... a critical valley that wants to tear your arm off if you creep just the slightest........ etc.

Until I find one that I'm totally comfortable with, I'll keep using my old trusty one!
