If you want to get into tournaments there is a few things to remember. Speed is nice but no substitute for accuracy. i have a Hoyt protec 47 inch axle to axle length (Long) it has a reflex riser (long brace height). With this, when i go to IBO shots I will shot about 286FPS. Any bow can get up there in speed. i would go for about 38inch axel to axel length and a reflex riser.
