Some people cannot shoot speed. Depending on what flaws you have in your form, so shoot a slower bow better, while others shoot better with a faster bow. I had a High Country that was shooting in the 350's and I flat out could not control it. I find I shoot best shooting between 290 and 300.

I got a new "SloBow" this year and just LOVE watching my arrow fly to its Target! Pretty cool!

I can draw 70lbs all day in the yard. Doing it after sitting for a few hours in the cold after sunrise? Been there, missed that! Shot placement and broadhead sharpness. After that, everything else is just niceties and money, including KE and FPS. I spend on the rest to help the economy .
