Why chrono one at all a fast trad bow is only 10 to 15 fps faster than a slow one. It could be hundreds of dollars more expensive though.

If you want speed get a compound. A slow hit is better than a fast miss anyday.LCH

LCH, just food for thought, but you know in some cases a slow bow can also be hundreds of dollar more expensive than a fast one. Design is what determines performance, not price.
Until next time...good shooting,
Lee

I like being able to see what changes in set up mean to performance, for example a heavier arrow does  not seem to slow the set up down that much and a heavier bow doesn't add that much speed, good things to know, enjoy tinkering with things.

:dunno:

Nothing wrong with a slow trad bow, but there's nothing wrong with a high performance one either.

Yes Lee, my thoughts as well.

BTW, you make a fine looking bow!
