It would be nice if there was a standard that companies would actually follow, but I don't think I've ever owned a bow I didn't check the speed for first, to see myself.

I've always been a "I'll see for myself" type person, and always will. Maybe I'm not a trusting soul, but to me, no one should be too shocked when their 310 IBO rated bow only gets 292.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, shoot, see for yourself, then buy.
