The only point I was trying to make is this. Yes, a speed bow is just that, and most folks get one for what? Well, the speed of course. And that's fine. It'll kill deer, it'll shoot straight. If that's what they want, hey......who am I to tell them they are wrong? I'm can't.
But, another side to the speed bow is it's ability to shoot a heavy arrow fast, and not having to shoot 80 #'s to do it. But those of us that choose to go that route aren't wrong either. The question was posed, why do some want a speed bow? For me, the answer is because the speed bow has the ability to shoot a heavy arrow fast.
Your point was the only one that was clear and made sense. It's also the reason that I look for faster shooting bows. I want a bow that will push my 440+ grain arrows at a decent speed with my 27.5" draw so I can get good KE.
The rest of the thread just made my head hurt.
Agreed again. I am turning my speed bow into a slow one, LOL With my 550 grain arrow I bet I do not break 235 FPS[:-]
