fishon, dont get too wraped up in the speed thing. I know it's nice to see those arrows zing out there at warp speed and stay nice and flat, but it's a heck of a lot more important to be consistantly accurate, and set and know your limits. My old bow only gets about 210fps with carbons, but I havent bought any beef in a LONG time. Somehow, I keep getting lucky enough to find deer that are just a little slower than ole' Slo-bo! Would I like a faster bow too? Sure. Would spending $700.00-$1100.00 put more venison in my freezer....? It's tough when there are so many great new bows out there though!!
