bigcountry, what would a traditional bow with a 600 grain arrow getfor FPS?
My guess would be the guy shooting that bow with that arrow could care less what the FPS is. I'm just sayin'....
I agree BHF! When I shot trad gear I never gave speed a consideration.

Rifle hunters would not think of using the same weightBullet or Caliber of gun for that matteron all Big Game in North America, but some Bowhunters think it's either Heavy or Light.

No way I'd go Bear hunting on a Bait with an arrow weighing 5 grains per pound. I'd use my heavier arrow for obvious reasons.

On the other hand I would not use my 500 plus grain arrows hunting Antelope or Mule Deer out west either.

I think the reason is also obvious
