Good for you. The newer bows are certainly better in my opinion. However, I would imagine archers have killed a lot of game with less speed than you have now. I started out with a Proline that probably didn't shoot much over 200 but I practiced, practiced, practiced and I am sure I was better with it than my newer bow. I wished I could have kept it but needed the money. Yes, it was heavier, slower, longer. But it fit me well and I would have no problem hunting with it now. There are a lot of hunters out there shooting older equipment and doing a fine job. Hope you get what you are looking for.
