RE: Hooked on speed
I love the speed but...you have to have solid form to handle it. I shoot 306 fps and a 367 grain Gold Tip XT 55/75 very accurately for deer hunting (3" groups at 30 yds). I had planned to shoot heavier, but now I find no compelling reason to do so, considering the accuracy. Before you say it, my bow is whisper quiet, so there' s no issue there, either.
In my view, there is no such thing as a ' forgiving' setup if your form is wrong. If your off, you miss. Speed does one thing very well... It forces us to work out flaws and inconsistencies in our shooting form and makes us better archers. That is worth it to me.
Now for those of you with speed bows (or any bow) that don' t practice enough... Please don' t go hunting... Save the deer for someone who cares...
