But sadly, some manufacturers do just that anyway. Remember--for every strand of material you drop, you pick up anywhere from 3-6 fps! Couple that with paper thin cams,(lighter is faster, but no very durable) pre-stressed limbs, (which will fail much sooner) and other little known "speed enhancing tricks", and you are soon shooting much higher speeds than the competition. Run drawlengths a little longer than aMO, and gain a few more fps. Unfortuanately, all it is is alot of smoke and mirrors, and you ALWAYS pay for high speed because of what has to be done to gain it.
I completely agree! Not only that, but most manufacturers give you the illusion of more speed by "stretching the truth" on the specs of the bow. For comparison sakes, we need truth in advertising and we need bow reports to accurately measure these descrepancies and report on them.
