As i stated eariler. Speed is not the cure all. But it does let you do more with less. Just like in rifles. A 7mm Rem Mag ar 3100 fps vs a 30-30 at a old mans pace still kill if the pill is put in the right place. Speed does allow you to use less pins, and helps engate hold over with the ones you do have.

i just need a new bow, take my old one and use it for fishing Not really. It's not what you shoot but how you shoot what your shooting. I am so impressed with the trick shooting of Byron Ferguson and what does he use... a long bow shooting instinctive. Slow speed and no sights but I want to see anyone with the fastest compound bow keep up with him, they don't stand a chance. If the Indians lived by your statement we would have learned about Cowboys only in school as all of the Indians would have starved to death way before they kept any records.... The biggest thing speed does is flatten the trajectory of the arrow which makes yardage estimation less critical to certain distances. Practice so that the bow is purely an extension of your arm, practice and become proficient at yardage estimation and knowing the flight path of your arrow and you'll shoot just as good as any 'new bow" out there can.

some people won't even look at a bow unless it will shoot over 300 fps. speed to a certain point is good but as the speed picks up the more chance for something to go wrong. read a rule of thumb one day in a mag, if you shoot a bow with fixed blades try to keep the speed around 280fps. anything above that you should consider mechanicals. what do you all think.

From my experience's I would have to agree. Once you get above 270/280 fps, with fixed blade heads tuning and correct form becomes MUCH more critical. This is not to imply that it's not important under those speeds but any little flaw in either is greatly magnified by the higher speeds. I shoot with some guys that have just flat out screaming 3D rigs but no way they would ever seriously think of shooting fixed blade broad-heads from these rigs at those same speeds. Their groups would look like a shotgun pattern for the most part...

now i don't understand, they say fix are worse for higher speeds, so i bought rage broad heads cause they slide back, so they are a mechanical, they seem to work great even at my speeds, are they really not all they're hyped up to be?

I think they are. I laid open my buck this year with them! I would hesitate to use them on bear, elk, and anything with alot of muscle and bone thou.
