New bow did homework and still need help.
#1
Looking for help with actual FPS. I went and shot some different bows(a bunch) and the only thing I figured out was that I like the slim line grip, other then that I still cant tell for sure. I've looked through a bunch of websites and read a bunch of info. I even learned my draw lenght is 29.5-30" and not 31".
Everything I shot I grouped very well, the bows that really stuck out to me were the Black Ice and the Parker Hornet(even though it didnt have a slim line grip). Should I consider speed when I deciding between 2 bows that I thought felt pretty good? Im a little concered about the Black Ice being a bit slow from what Ive read on some forums. Im not really worried about a more forgiving bow I can should my 4" brace height PSE just fine and its as unforgiving as they come andits ready to be replaced.
I dont want to spend 700+ ona set up that is slower then my old Baby G.
thx for help

Well, it sounds like you set your criteria and have it narrowed down pretty well. Now. you're the one who has to determine whether speed is the most important.
Personally, either of them would be an upgrade from the BabyG IMO, regardless of the speed.

Thats the only issue not in question for me.
