Default RE: can I increase fps?

OK, I found one with some basic terminology on compound bows. Look, or don't. It's up to you.

Ok, I disagree with MO_Bowhunter and for this reason. You are shooting 5" groups at 20 yards while practicing. This is when you are calm and collected. Have the time to do everything right and can think of what you are doing. Under hunting conditions things can and do change dramatically. The adrenilin starts flowing and you get excited. You, in essense, go brain dead and forget all you know about shooting the bow. Your groups can about double in size. That makes a 5" group now a 10" group which is bigger than most vitals on deer.

Like I said. Learn to just shoot form and everything will eventually fall into place. Maybe spend some time this summer competing in some 3D shoots. Shooting under some kind of pressure helps you learn how to control your anxieties. It'll follow you right into the woods-----to a degree.

Along the way you'll learn more about bow tuning and all the little things that make big differences. It's all up to you.

For the record I've been shooting compound bows for 30 years now. I always have top-o-the-line bows because I can. I still shoot form. I'm old, deaf, and half blind. On average days I shoot 3-4" groups at 40 yards. On better days they are half that. On most days I can't shoot 2 arrows at the same bullseye from 20 yards. I see no reason to try to break a $12 arrow just to prove it can happen.
