Default RE: Draw lenght vs speed

The two extra inches of drawlength should give about 20-25fps more, but it is a poor substitute for accuracy. I for one have a 27" draw and can and have shot at 28", but with much less consistency and accuracy. Therefore, I will not compromise my drawlength for the added speed. There are much better ways to achieve higher speeds and I know quite a few of them.

How many guys do you know of that are shooting 27" draw, 53# and getting 299fps with a 3D setup and 280fps with a hunting setup. And when it gets downto it, for most of us hunting whitetails at 30 yards or less speed is quite a nonissue.
