I shot one, ya know when somethings weighing on you, a job that's difficult but you just do it and then something comes along that will make that job so much easier and you feel like a weight has been lifted, that bow was it. It's like going into the woods caring nothing, a real lean mean hunting machine.
I dont know about that. I have a PSE BowMadness XS I tried different setups with arrows. I tried GT 7595 400 gr 386 gr with the 400 gr I was getting 294 fps with the 386 gr i was getting 297 fps. So then I tried GT 22's at 366 gr now im getting 305 fps. with a 30" draw 68.8 lb and all the arrows cut to 29". So I don’t know if the site you are referencing is not being bias toward Mathews.
Im not saying that i have one of those speed bows but i do think that if you play with arrow weights youcan get the speed or close to the speed that they say. JMO
