I' m not much of a speed freak with a bow. I want to be as accurate as possible and really don' t care much about the speed of the bow. I shoot a Mathews Legacy and absolutely love it. I would recommend this bow to anyone. It' s not slow by any means either. If your looking into a fast bow, look at the new High Country that' s out. I saw it shot through a chrono and with a regular arrow it shot 350+.
