Quik and I shoot the exact same bow... and as much as Fran and I have similar personalities and outlooks on life... we go in different directions on speed.

I got no problem with it... but I like hunt tight.... I can't see 30 yards out of most of my stands.

One of my requirements for a good hunting set up is being able to see the arrow in flight and watch it impact my target.

Anyone who has done any serious amount of bowhunting for any serious period of time will tell you that knowing where you hit the animal is a critical piece of information to have. I have 20/15 eyes and save using a lit arrow nock, I can't see an arrow over 310fps in flight very well... and especially not in the light conditions that hunting takes place in. Sure if you recover the arrow you'll have an indication to some extent, but there are a lot of variables there... I'd rather have an eye witness account... and once you take up the trail... then you really know what you are dealing with.

To me, having a bow that shoots incredibily fast is all great and fine... but for me personally I don't think its the right tool for the job. Its great if you suck at judging yardage and want to win lots of plaques and belt buckles at 3D shoots.... but if we are talking 3D shoots... there is a subforum for that. ASA has a speed limit... and its 280... which happens to be about my personal speed limit for my hunting bows. It is easier to shoot, helps the bow be a bit more quiet, and allows me to know EXACTLY what kind of hit I made. More importantly, I am comfortable and confident with it. Its like shooting a deer with a .338 or turning over a flower bed in front of the house with a tractor.....sure you can do it... but that doesn't mean its the perfect tool for the task at hand. All depends on how you look at it.

I'll always hold true that a bow you can shoot well is better than a super fast bow you can't shoot well. Anybody care to argue that?
