Why would you want to give up trad bows?  That would be going back to crawling and giving up walking.

I think it is more a question on giving up one trad bow for another.

I have no clue how fast or slow my current bow is, I just know it will kill a critter just as fast as any other weapon out there with a well placed broadhead!

My guiding principle for the past 35 years has been to shoot a bow that I love shooting.  Latest and greatest is not a factor.

It's all about the grip(checkering) being perfect.  All bows will shoot better than we can ever shoot them.  Speed not really a factor for me.

Accuracy is my deciding factor. If a Bowyer said his next design is more accurate then.........

What Bill said! It would also need to be quiet. Speed is overrated. Quiet and accuracy is what gets the job done.

Speed is not a major concern to me.  I might be interested if I was much more accurate with it, though.

Right now I would pass.  Nothing I own is poorly designed.  I am working on being content.

If I had money burning a hole in my pocket with nothing to do with it but buy a bow I would have one of Steve's (Sixby) bow in my hand.  I love well designed static tip recurves.

Speed is important to some and that is fine.

Smooth draw, quiet on the shot, and handling qualities are more important to me.  But, that's just me.

Never question a man's choice in bows or the quality of an animal he kills.  He is the only one who has to be satisfied with either of those choices.

The last time I chronoed any of my bows was 2-3 years ago, and that was before I increased my DL by a bit over 1", so it's not a speed thing. But if Dave (Schafer) came up with a new bow or limb design, I'd be the first in line. And I hazard to add, I wouldn't be the only one.
 Also try to get the best performance out of all my bows I can, performance strings, light silencers, 10grpp min arrows.
 Been too hot here lately   ;) , over 30C and humid, so when it cools of a bit, I'll pull the chrono out and see what I'm getting
 Merry XMass, cheers Dan
