Value of extra FPS
 
I am looking to purchase a crossbow for hunting elk and deer. How valuable is an extra 30 Feet Per Second? I am looking at a Ten Point Titan at 300 FPS and a a variety of Parker Crossbows. They have an extra 30-40 FPS advertised.

For me the Ten Point handles better. Would it be worth sacrificing a little handling to get the extra speed. In the real world what will that extra speed buy you?

Get what handles best for you. Unless the extra 30-40 fps is with a substantially heavier arrow it's not going to matter much.

If it feels better you probably will be able to anchor and shoot quicker so I agree if thats all the speed difference is. I would also consider the width of each bow if you plan on tree stand use. It has to shoulder nice which the Tornado is pretty nice.

i would get the one at 300 fps, which is fast, the extra 30 fps won't really help vs. the way a cb handles. you won't notice the speed dif. and you definitely will notice the handleing.

Those blazing fast bows have a shorter life span. Most entry level bows shoot 285+ with 420+ grain arrows. That's more than enough for hunting purposes out to 40 yards.

Comfort to me is the #1 if i can't handle the Bow speed isn't of any use!
