Preferable speed of arrow?
« on: January 06, 2013, 01:45:00 PM »
Hi!


I might step on some toes regarding this thread regarding best bow is the one you shoot best etc. But still here is the thought:

Look away from # of bow and think arrow speed:

What would be the allover preferable speed for all game hunted from squirrel to bison?

I know that it depends on all factors when it comes to the kill, and that some animals are more jumpy etc.

I have also shot a lot of the high speed bows and some of them I think is more difficult shooting cause they might be more "jumpy" for small errors.

And some bows I feel are way to slow, and you "feel" the wait before hitting the target. They also seems to have to big arch for shots above 25 yards(I train recovery shots out to about 65 yards)

I always liked good weights in arrows and feel comfortable around 175 fps.

Experiences and opinions on good average speed?

With a healthy dose of madness and bad memory, life`s a wonderful journey      :thumbsup:
