How much would it take 2 give up your trad bow??

[overbo]

So you call your favorite bowyer to wish him and family a merry Christmas. During your season greetings he mentions he has developed a new limb design that has the exact same shooting characteristics as your previous bow but he has enhanced the performance.

My question to all is,''How much feet per second '' increase would it take for you to buy the new bow??

[Manitoba Stickflinger]

One!

None-- that's not what traditional equipment is all about.

I don't know how fast any of my bows shoot to begin with. well one I guess was chronied years ago, but otherwise...


but I can always be had...

[Pete McMiller]

None, my bows shoot fast enough for me now and I shoot them well - I really don't have a need for any other design - except maybe a takedown.

[Sirius Black]

None.    

[T Lail]

as long as it shoots out the other side of the game I hunt......that is fast enough and heavy enough for me......I have no idea how fast any of my bows shoot ?????

[Gdpolk]

I don't care about speed. If I did I would use a crossbow. If the made it more quiet and dead in the hand, I might try one but I'm mighty fond of my keepers

[bigbadjon]

It would have to be sustantial if it were just speed. I would switch without much thought if the put in features I prefer. For example if A&H put out a riser with a longer sight window I would be all over it.

none

It would not be a fps thing for me, but a feel thing. If my bowyer called me up and told me that (which has happened a time or two), I would be at his shop ASAP to try out the new bow, but would only be interested in buying one if the "feel" was there.

It would have to be a tack driver in my hands or it's no good.

[nineworlds9]

It would have to look even better and be even more durable and easy to shoot well.  Speed alone would not make me give up a bow I truly love.

[ChuckC]

I have gotten too old to worry about that.  I like what I got, thank you very much.

Just make it smooth with a perfect grip!

If you are looking for a reason to buy another bow, tell yourself this... "Who ever dies with the most toys, wins!"

ive pretty much decieded i have the perfect hunting bow after buying and selling a bunch of em i have no idea of my current fps but it does regulary get 2 holes and usually a red arrow sticking in the dirt  thats plenty of fps for me.. so like others its not really much of a factor

[Tradcat]

The American Indians killed deer and other wild game with bow's that averaged 30-35 lbs....SO, with that being said...my bow now is "FAST"

[GreyGoose]

I gave up a lot of fps returning to traditional bowhunting and archery, so it's kind of a moot point, as long as I can reach out and touch something.  Not that numbers are bad - I always like to have one more reason to acquire another bow!

[Bowhunter4life]

None...  I tend to end up with one of everything sooner or later...  I do have several that just seem to stay with me and tend to go to the woods with me though...
