I used to think 250 fps was the glass ceiling, TG78 but they've come up with some newer broadheads. Now I think it's about 280 where you really start getting into the area where you really need to know what you're doing to make it work.

rybo, I chose people that I'm convinced represent the vast majority of bowhunters. Well, granted.... one of 'em was a complete blockhead and didn't have any business playing with sharpened sticks in the first place. I'm thinking of the guys who need to take 'a slow hit is better than a fast miss' to heart. They completely lack the capability of using high performance equipment!

You think only of the few, VERY few, bowhunters who actually take bowhunting and archery to the level of an avocation. For those guys, you're right. I'm on board with ya. But until you admit that these guys are a small, quite small, minority of bowhunters, and the huge majority of bowhunters are weekend warriors with a scattering of complete dunderheads, we've got an argument.

And we REALLY have an argument when it comes to preaching speed to the guys who aren't equipped for it. If they don't have the skills, don't have the motivation to acquire the skills, don't have the time to devote to maintaining the skills they do acquire, they don't need to be shooting freakin' 300 fps. Period.
