These bows were(and may still be) the fastest production bows available. My brother shoots one. They take a lot of practice to shoot consistently but if you take to time they are very flat shooting bows.

Speed does not matter to me. I am purely a hunter, not a 3-d shooter. My Mathews Ultra Max is fine for me. It has never let me down on game.

Mike W,

It appears these are the speeds published by the manufacturers. I would love to see an actual, unbiased test run by someone with this same group of bows. Preferably shot with a shooting machine to remove all human variables. It would be iteresting to see what the results would be!
I still say that speed as a whole is VERY overated as an asset on a hunting bow. More speed equals a bow that is harder to shoot accurately. Especially under hunting conditions.

Thanks Mike...I thought Bowtech had the highest rated speed. [Eek!]

Highest rated when you ask Bowtech. All of the figures listed are FACTORY CLAIMS. This is my point,why doesn't someone do an independent test? I for one would like to see which bow actually is the fastest. This list certainly does not let us know the truth of the matter.

A good friend shoots a PSE Infinity and can get 324fps. [Razz] I would not suggest shooting it that way [Frown] . I have said it before that you miss allot faster with these speeds [Wink] .

I see they left the Oneida Black Eagle off the list. Excess of 350 fps. IBO is no problem. Lawdog
