I also shoot an Admiral and agree with you that it is an awesome bow. As far as not being the fastest.... Nothing I am hunting is faster, anything faster is cool but not necessary even at 40 yards. I am still impressed by how smooth it shoots with no vibration and very littly noise while being light and having the ability to hold it at full draw at maxed out weight for minutes at a time without sacrificing steadiness in my shot. I LOVE This Bow!
