RE: bowtech speed
How many #'s were the bows set at, what type of bows did you shoot, what were the weights of the arrows, did the bows have a "loaded" string? At IBO (350g arrow and 70 # DW; 30" DL), most of the hard-cam Bowtechs will EASILY eclipse 300 fps, as will many other late-model bows --- that doesn't mean you have to shoot at 300fps+. I would much rather have a smooth, accurate bow shooting at 260fps than one I couldn't hold steady shooting 300fps. A slow hit is better than a fast miss any day.

RE: bowtech speed
You can see below what my Allegiance does. SO I know that Bowtechs will get above your magic 300 fps. And I shot the Blackknight as well, It makes my Allegiance look slow. By the way notice my draw length.

RE: bowtech speed
blackknight,patriot dually and single cam all @5 grains per pound
Allegiance 317fps 29"/60#/300gr
BK 332fps 29"/70#/350gr
Patriot Dually 318fps 29"/70#/350gr
Patriot Single cam 308fps 29"/70#/350gr
Should I continue? OR maybe you'd like to see the 30" speeds?
