Originally posted by gringol: Trad bows can't cast an arrow much faster than 190fps regardless of draw weight, so with regards to arrow speed diminishing returns should be expected. Heavy bows gain power by having the ability to cast a heavier arrow not by casting it faster. Heavy bows have that ability because the limbs are heavier. The point is, make sure you are clear about what the bowyer is refering to. If he is saying he can't get any more speed at high draw weights, don't sweat it. If he is saying he gets less efficiency you should worry. Gpp/fps should be similar regardless of draw weight.
