Lets Stop "A Slow Hit Is Better Than A Fast Miss"
Uhhh... No. ANY hit is better than a miss, and not just everyone has the tuning and/or shooting ability to handle a buttload of speed, so it's true. You can just buck up and deal with it, because I've had to put up with this idiotic "I can do it so everyone else needs to do it my way" nonsense from speed freaks FOR YEARS.

... I don't understand why a faster bow if comfortable in all hunting positions is not "hunting" desireable.
Besides what I already mentioned about not everyone having the capabilities needed to handle high speeds...

The faster the arrow is flying, the more perfect the broadhead needs to be. Frankly, most broadheads simply are not up to the challenge of go-fast bows. They have to be mounted perfectly true to the shaft. And you have to go way up the price scale to get carbon arrows that'll handle broadheads at speeds in excess of 300 fps, and even then it's hard to get the broadhead mounted perfectly true to the shaft, because the shafts themselves aren't perfectly true.

Putting together ultra speedy hunting rigs not an endeavor for the faint of heart... or thin of wallet.
