A 60 yard shot is just a "doable" at 260 fps as it is a 386 fps. Either require a rangefinder. Don't leave home without it.

"It seems crazy to me to but as long as they will take care of it if it breaks why not"

I would not want to be around a bow that broke during the shot.....I shoot within my bows limit of more than 340 grains as I am pulling near 70#.

It's one thing to shoot an arrow that light at 70 poundsthat was built with the proper spine like their speed pro arrows.

It is another thing entirely to shoot an arrow spined for 45 pound bows like the Gold Tip 3555. SureHigh Countrywill warranty an Iron Mace down to 3 grains per pound but I doubt that Gold Tip or High Country is going to pay your medical bills when thatGT 3555snaps in half at the shot and goes straight through your wrist.

Don't be stupid man.

"313 fps and switched to the goldtip ultra lite and know i am shoting 386fps"

So you gained approximately 25 yards per second by switching down to a lower grain arrow?> That is a huge friggin difference...warp speed increase.
