I agree that more speed wouldn't havemade a difference in any hunting situation that I have been in. Myhunting rigshoots about 260 fps (27 inch draw) which by today's standards is probably on the slower side. But it gets the job done. The most important things to me are how smooth the bowdraws, accuracy, and quietness. I have shot some of the newer "speed bows" and didn't like how they felt drawing back. Just my oppinion.
