Nowadays I look for a bow that has the specs I want....axle to axle length, brace height, riser design, cam style, draw cycle, etc.... I set it up with my normal arrows, rest etc....and tune it.

After I am done I send it through the chronograph.

Does that tell you how important speed is to me?....Ofcourse I do have a 31 inch draw length and I do shoot at least 65 lbs so I could probably take most bows and get at least 250-260 out of them.
