Legends cyclone is a shooter and they are the best people you will ever deal with.
Pick a spot and concentrate!

ACSs for me, too, but don't take my/our word for it, check out Blackie's bow reports. ACS is the fastest extreme r/d longbow he's tested.

A&Hs are very fast.
BUT
They are also very quiet smooth shooting bows. I don't feel that the ACS limb gives up other desireable shooting qualities to get speed, except for maybe some durability by using the carbon limb.
They are top performers all the way around in my opinion.
I had a really good group going... until I shot the second arrow.

My best bows are the ones someone else didn't want.

Did not mean to insinuate that I was in any way affiliated with Horne Archery. This info came from their website. I should have stated that. My error. Thanks Joe vt for bringing this to my attention.

Horne Archery
Our bows are engineered for ultimate performance and hand crafted with the traditional artistry of wood and fiber.

Horne bows are a unique blend of tradition and technology. We understand the dynamics of choosing bow woods that work in harmony to create a lightweight, shock free shooting experience. Our bows are quietly efficient, soft in the hand, and did we mention FAST! We offer you what may be the most well rounded bows on the market, boasting speeds of over 210 fps AMO, while still maintaining shock free shooting comfort.

I don't have a chrono but this thing is a performer

team fudd

we just chronographed my hill country longbow and it is 47 at 28 regularly shooting over 200 feet per second through the chrono three fingers under with the 360 Grain Arrow. pictures of it are on the hill country heaven thread posted tonight

I have never shot any of Kirk's bows but would have to say to give them a try ( bigfoot bows ) based on the discussions I have had with him on here and the praise they receive here on Tradgang as well. Steve with Eaglewing makes a really fast smooth hybrid as well. Other great choices are A&H ACS CX, Centuars with carbon limbs, Zippers, and my personal favorite Widows. The Black Widows aren't quite up there in speed with some of these other bows I have mentioned which will shoot 200 fps with a 9 gpp. It shoots about 190 fps at 9gpp which is plenty fast for me and it doesn't have some of the more really extreme curves like some of the other bows have which for me makes it easier to string and unstring. Plus it is a very forgiving bow and the guys at Black Widow are all top notch guys.

At 7.5 gpp I would think many bows would do the same, no?

A&H ACS without a doubt, and I just happen to have one for sale right now in the Classifieds  :saywhat:    :goldtooth:

old_goat2

I'm getting 190fps at 9.2gpp with my dryad ACS CG limbs. It might not be as fast as the A&H but in my experience it is much much more enjoyable to shoot! Your results may vary!

Various bows, but if you see me shooting, it's probably a Toelke in my hand!

duffer1565

The fastest for me have been A&H acs , Caribow wolverine and a Zipper Nitro .

60" Big Jim Buffalo 48#@28"

58" BW PSA IV 48# @ 28"
58" Firefly Messenger Static Recurve 47# @ 28"

Flying Dutchman

Caribow Peregrine for sure. It also had an incredible smooth draw, so you can easily go a few pounds higher
It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that string! [/i]                            :rolleyes:              
Cari-bow Peregrine

SBD strings on all, what else?

Piratkey

Bigfoot Sasquatch,very fast and quiet.

St. Joe hands down for me. And smooth.

I would vote for the Centaur, bamboo/carbon limbs. My PL is fast, Shawnee and Big Jim Buffalo also fast, all with carbon in the limbs. Centaur is still the winner in my"stable" of bows. That being said, speed isn't everything, cast is equally important. How the bow handles a heavier arrow will be key if you are dropping weight in a hunting bow. I don't think you will be unhappy with any of the bows mentioned.

I have owned Centaurs and currently own a couple ACS bows, they are fast. I can't believe no one has mentioned the Toelke Whip.
  For me personally I find the ACS a bit touchy on release,(probably my bad form),the whip is much more user friendly for me and doesn't give up enough in speed to make a difference it shoots right with my recurves of the same poundage.

For comfort and quickness I love my St. Joe River bow 50@28" and shoots much faster than that

Are you confused yet ? Lol....lots of options out there !

My vote goes to Centaur, but I've not shot that many !
