Bahaa haa haa....so true!

First of all perhaps it should be noted that much like beauty, speed is relevant to the shooter. The same bow may shoot a 500 grain arrow 240 fps and shoot a 400 grain 270 fps. Depending on ones perspective both speeds could be viewed as fast, or slow. Compared to the 215 fps, it would be a rocket! The constant in this equation is the fact that the shooting characteristics of the bow producing these numbers is the same, a long (by todays standards, 37") axle to axle, a decent brace height ( 7 1/2") and a smooth drawing cam. The geometry of the bow in this case would indicate that it should be user friendly.

I see nothing wrong with the desire to have a fast rig as long as that is not the only consideration. While Whitetails are the number one animal to hunt in the country, as has been pointed out, there are many who hunt elk, moose, grizzly, boars, and we won't even mention African game. Penetration is at a premium on these animals. While it is true nothing is more important than shot placement, we cannot deny the fact that which ever formula one uses to define penetration, Ke or momentum, speed is a critical ingredient. Energy harnessed and controlled is tough to beat.
