[snag]

Blacktail TD recurve/55#@28"/620gr/175fps
RER Vortex longbow/53#@28"/570gr/160fps

Still not sure which one I will hunt with. They both shoot so well!

[eagle24]

Draw length = 29"

ACS-CX/45#@28"/500gr/**
Turkey Creek/45#@28"/460gr/**
Harrelson R/D longbow/52#@28"/520gr/**

** they all shoot between 120 and 300 fps   :rolleyes:

I know....I know....speed is not important to a lot of folks OR THE CRITTERS for sure .....LOL  I was just wondering???

My wheel bow I used to shoot was "slow" at 249FPS....so speed is not that important to me either....

ALL my buddies shoot BW recurves and they seem to be in the mid 180's.

The BW PSA I had was 57#@30" and shot 540 gr arrows 185 FPS.

thanks
