There are advantages and disadvantages, just as with everything else. It works for some, not for others. That is why there are 100's of bows on the market. I don't think ANY bow made today is made so unshootable that it increases wounding rates though. Some guys will buy a bow just for its speed regardless if it fits them, much the same others will buy one based on the name regardless if it fits them. No difference in my opinion. I think the negatives are blown out of proportion, just as much as the positives are. If a guy shoots a bow like that fine, whywould he NOT take advantage of more speed/ke if it doesn't hurt him in the accuracy department?

I don't think a speed bow is for meeither, I love my current speed of 270ish (which is speed bow to some guys, considering a 500 grain arrow)....I am pushing 80 ft/lbs of KE. My next bow willlikely have a higher IBO than mycurrent with the way things have been going..so I am dropping poundage. If I upgraded this year, I candrop8-10 lbs of draw weight, shoot my same arrow...andonly loose 3-4 fps. This is a GREAT advantage to me. My next bow will 100% be a 60# bow.

Im sure back in the 80s, they were saying the same about bows reaching 250. Why on earth would someone need speeds like that? 180 does just fine.
