I don't get the faster thing?? I do agree that I don't care for minimum weight arrows in any bow. I shoot 415 to 450 grain in my 380's and they are faster than most compound bows, the 415's shoot 358 fps. I will never find a bow that cocked sweeter or was more accurate than my old Phoenix,,,sweet bow! If I wanted to compete for max speed, and put up with the needs of a mechanical broadhead, or the pain in the ars to tune a fixed broadhead, (I prefer fixed) I'd get the 405, that should put that 415 grain arrow at about 380 to 385 fps. that is as fast what the Scorpyd Vent I had would do, 10 fps aint noticeable except on paper, trust be,,, been there!! Plus my 380's aren't built backwards, and don't need training wheels to stay together, And I don't have to baby em when I'm in the State Forrest miles away from a support team,,,,
I really don't see an advantage to a compound, and quite the apposite! I had a couple Parkers,,, great bow's if you like compounds, a Gale Force and a Cyclone, neither as fast as my 380, had a Tenpoint Venom, more compact but noticeably heavier, as is every compound I have had, its their hunting speed bow @ over $1700.00 of not as fast as the 380 with a 440 grain arrow, or any equal weight arrow, and itshot factory spec. The big thing is that if the compound boys could build a bow with a 290 pound limb they would have it, the fact is if they had a bow that could load a limb to 260 to 290 pounds, none of them would have enough balls to let it loose, (or brains)!!!!
They pretty much are Boot Tough.
