? about speed of bows

[Dick in Seattle]

I've been telling anyone who asks about the speed on my light flat bows that if they really, really want an extra 6 fps, just run toward the target as they shoot!  :D  I got real interested in speed about 6 to 8 months back, then i figured out it's all a game, with just enough variables that everyone can win. The arrow gets there when it gets there. The important thing is whether its "there" is your "there". Relax and smell the flowers, or, in our terms, watch the arc of the arrow. Now me, I like to enjoy a good smoke while the arrows's on its way.....
