I never win when I shoot for money, but I bet I'd clean up the competition if we were shooting for crap.

How much speed have they gained with them fast bows in the last 30 or so years anyway ?
Would you please tell me how fast one of them 350 fps 50lb bow will shoot my 600 grain arrows so I can tell how much I have lost out to them fellows !
With you going to school for engineering I figure you could do the math for me  , it should be faster for you to do it since I am a little slow !  >:D :laugh: :laugh:
The one game where speed is on our side is the fast flying targets , my heavy arrows just barely catch up to some of them speed demons !!
Have fun !

Typical high end bows in the 1980's could shoot a 430 grain arrow right around 220 fps or so. Shooting the same weight arrow, they gained 15-20 fps by the early 90's. By the new millennium they had reached the high 200's, and shortly after they were comfortably shooting over 300. But they seem to have peaked out at that. But that's enough compound talk for me. I got a little sass the last time I got involved in that  :P

And I am actually no longer going to school for engineering. Wrote my last exam monday and pending a passing grade (which I'm 99.9% sure I got) I'll graduate in October   8)

At the risk of bringing up this raw subject again I wanted to recend myself saying that the bow has nothing to do with accuracy.It does.For me it's the up and down placement of the arrow that can be different.Not the side to side thing which I correct with the right spined arrow.I personally think after 3 to 4 years of shooting these self bows[yes I'm a slow learner....LOL] that the amount of positive tiller or even tiller and the way the hand is placed on the bow handle or type of handle makes one bow shoot better than another for an individual.Everything else being the same between the bows. I guess it's the harmonics of how each limb tip arrives to it's released destination.If it feels right and is quiet go with it.The subject was supposed to be about speed but accuracy got brought in there too.

Hey Ed!  Ain't it nice to learn something once in a while that don't involve getting hurt in the process?  Oh the education lumps I got on my head!   :o

Mine are purple and yellow Guy,about the same thing. :) colors after the healing begins.  ;) :) :) Beadman I do shoot some better than others,no doubt about it.I can usually tell from the first shot out of a newly built bow weather I am going to like itor not,I can do some tweaking to make them more to my liking but if that first shot don't feel right to me that bow never seems to become one of my favorites. Now back to speeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed  ;) ;D ;D
