What is your definition???
 
Definition of a speed bow? 280? 290? 300? 325? fps...
I would think anything over 280 is fast and anything 300 and up is a speed bow...

RE: What is your definition???
 
IBO or out of the bow??? 300 is getting easier and easier to get...305-310 is speed. 290 up is fast.

What the bow actually shoots I guess. Not really sure what you mean out of the bow?

I think that 315-320 and higher is a speed bow IMO.

IBO anything over 325 is a speed bow IMO.

If that can be acomplished with a brace height of 7 inches or more then even better.

My definition is~ the speed for 2007-2008 soon to be replace by the speed of 2009 and beyond if this makes any sense to you?

It wont be long before we are shooting a 200 grain arrow at 430fps!! Hey as long as its got a warranty right???


My opinion only, nothing against those who are speed demons!

Anything over 220 fps .....LOL:D

Cause I think thats the speed of my compound.

My selfbow is more like 150.

If the critter you are shooting at is dead, doesn't matter how fast your bow is.

RE: What is your definition???
 
My defintion of a speedbow = IBO > 325 and a brace height < 7"

But WesternMdhardwods is right, our definition of a speed bow is constantly changing as bows get faster.
