well I know Ontario Archery assoc. has a speed limit of 280
I am not favor of it .... I also know that some shooters in this country that are highly respected shoot some fast bows ....
some examples: Cody Draper 4x Outdoor Nat silver medalist and 2x Indoor Gold medalist in MBO with a Martin Fury, Hoyt super or Turbo Tecs (I think his last Gold came with either a Trykon or Vectrix) 5th place in open div at Fita world 3D champs with a Vectrix all around 300 FPS
Jude Hooey ... Various National Championships with Super/Turbo Tecs and Trykons ...Martins etc...all shooting over 295 FPS
Derek Hird At least 2 outdoor National Championships in MBO and at least 2 IBO world Championships in mens youth div (he won the 2k4 outdoor nats in PG at age 19) shooting Bowtechs at around 300
I can keep going here But I think my point is made ... now my next point is ... it dont matter how fast you shoot ... if you cant controll the bow ...your still gonna miss.
some people think that speed will make up ranging errors to a point this is correct as arrow flight is less arched ... but if you cant controll your bow ... it wont do ya any good ....
another arguement that been thrown out is less damage to targets .... that is a BS arguement ... For me to slow down my Super tec to 280 or so I would have to weight my arrows so much(pushing 500 gr as my hunting arrows are 426 gr and being flung at 299 fps at 67# ) as that I would have about 90 pounds of KE ...therefore I would blow through alot of targets in a hurry, My Trykon shoots at about 285 FPS at 313 grain arrow at 51 pounds
