How fast is fast?

[onewhohasfun]

This is America. What do Americans do? We tinker. We are never satisfied.

Is B 50 good enough when there are lighter, faster, stronger, quieter string materials out there?

I appreciate My #54 lb. bow that shoots like my #64lb. bow did 25 yrs. ago.

I hope guys like Steve and Kirk never stop R&D.

I'll take all the horsepower I can get.

Whats the downside?

This topic has arrived and arrived quite a bit earlier than the 13th page at the same place it always gets to, whether it's here or at "the other" forum. It may be overly simplistic but whether you are hunting or shooting 3d it's pretty much the difference between 175-190 f.p.s. at 15 to 25 yards and really there ain't much.

This site is not the LW, you should be able to come on here and ask a decent question about speed, and not endure asinine comments.  

Obviously you don't think I should be afforded the same privilege.  Quite a long post to say the obvious--nobody did say either of those things.

 

Whats the downside?

Didn't say there was.  Nothing wrong with manufacturers developing cars that will run 200 mph, but that doesn't mean you need one to drive down the highway.

Interesting. I keep getting reminded about what site this  isn't , yet you ignore the fact that I never attacked anyone.  To the contrary, I'm the one who was attacked, based on nothing but false accusations.  

Why?  Because I was concerned about someone I thought was a beginner getting discouraged because he didn't have the "right" equipment.  How silly of me to care.

Nobody on here said you have to have a bow that shoots 180 or 190 fps at all. All I am seeing is that some people on here have a desire to shoot high performance bows and some don't. Nor did I see anyone "attack" anyone else. What I am starting to see though is lots of strong, needless, defensive comments.

Not everyone who is pointing out differences of opinions is directing them at you, Chad.

You will have explain that comment, because, I wasnt talking about you.

How did this thread go from "How fast is Fast" written by a  bowyer, to a Joan of Arch soap opra?
   


Would you guys please stop it?  

I some times think this crap is done to purposely get a thread pulled.    

This thread is about the research & development a new bowyer is doing with the desire to build the best traditional bow he can.... We have a lot of other sponsors here that have the same goals... to provide a better product for Traditional bow hunters....

There is some good info on this thread.... If you guys mess around and get the thread pulled the info will be lost to everyone.

Exactly what Kirk said. So many times there have been really great info threads pulled because of this. Perhaps the admins could figure a way to just delete posts that do not go to the thread instead of deleting an entire thread.
Anyway. How fast is fast? 180 is fast. It is more than adequate. For a belly mount it is faster than average.
So build from that. You can and will find places to improve as you are inspired. From the point you obviously  are at I would start adding anything I could find that would increase overall performance and fit and finish.

God bless, Steve
