I wouldn't complain about 268, I shoot 211 with my bow set up with a 415 grn arrow. I own a brand new Bowtech Mighty Might VFT. I was a bit depressed about the speed, expecting more like always. I think you will find if you do the math your bow is plenty fast enough. It's just your set up that is limiting your speed. When I did all the calculations for arrow weight, draw length, and draw weight I came up with my bow shooting at the high end of what it was rated at (320fps). So I guess 211 for for my set up was pretty darn impressive.

Chances are if you would have spent 200 dollars more you wouldn't have really gained all that much any way. You may even have ended up with a bow that didn't shoot as well as the one you got. Just out of curiousity, what bow did you get, and what is the other bow for 200 more he thinks you should have bought. Just buying the most expensive bow on the rack doesn't insure that you bought the "best" bow.

The best way to pick up speed is to lighten your arrows some. However I don't think you will notice the difference between 270 and 280 fps. You probably wouldn't even have to change your pin settings. Maybe at longer distances, but not at 20 yards.

I don't even think shop owners should tell customers how fast thier bow shoots, or how much poundage they draw. It just messes with your head. The only real reasons to know your speed and poundage is to measure if something changes for trouble shooting purposes. And you need to know your poundage to get proper arrows. You should set the bow up the way YOU want it, and the way it is comfortable for YOU to shoot. Then don't worry about it. There isn't a bow made right now that is not capable of downing a deer. If I can do it at my size, any normal person could do it with ease.

Don't doubt your bowtech, you will give it a complex. Say you are sorry and whisper sweet things to it. How would you like it if your girlfriend said "That was good, but I was expecting more.". Hurts, doesn't it.

I won't even get into the shop thing. Did you tell him he is the one who sold you the bow. And I don't care what model you bought, Bowtechs are expensive compared to other bows. It's not like you got a Rack Master light from Jennings or something.
