Bow speeds are always increasing,
Thing is they're getting faster at less draw weight with more letoff.
Newer draw cycles tend to be a bit harsh.
X bows are gobbling up the archery market though.

The road to ignore is a one way street. You sure you want to travel that direction?

Sharp Things attempting pigeon english? Not sure, but it's too stupid to put up with. If he wishes to continue this nonsense, he will effectively self ban as far as I'm concerned. Never ignored someone before. His choice.

From what I've been told, it's a bot, not a person. Don't waste your time arguing with an "it". Check out it's posts everywhere on the 'Fire tonight and you'll see what I mean.

From his 90 posts, not all are this gibberish. A few are even phrased in English.

Bow speeds have been gradually increasing. However in my opinion, absent some tech break through they are close to peak.
Bows are rated at a certain speed and very light arrows are used to get to that speed. Seldom if ever will you get that speed with a rigged hunting bow and a reasonable weight hunting arrow.
I’ve been bow hunting well over 40 years.
I don’t know the speed of my early compounds, but would guess low 200 FPS if that.
Today I shoot a 520 grain arrow, fairly heavy, at 255 FPS. I could get to around 280 FPS with a light arrow, but choose not to do so.
I killed a lot of game including elk with 220fps arrows.

Been at this a while myself, started back in high school 1984. First elk I ever killed was with an old 60# 46" long Hoyt Energy Wheel bow shooting fingers with 540gr aluminum arrows. I seriously doubt that old bow shot 200 fps. My current rig is a Hoyt Carbon Defiant still 60# but shoots 380gr carbon arrows around 275 fps. Certainly no finger bow but it is nice to carry and shoots very well. Both bows killed elk equally dead. I have no desire to go back to the old Energy Wheels.
I do agree that bow speeds have about maxed out. The latest go-round has shorter and shorter brace heights and super aggressive cams to find just a tad more speed. But with those short brace heights and aggressive cams come bows that are more critical to shoot. A poor trade off for me.
FWIW: I spent from 2003 to 2013 shooting a Hoyt Ultratec cam and 1/2. That was a super bow - also killed elk equally dead as the others.
I guess the summary is that: Yes, bows of today are faster - maybe a bit more accurate (in the right configuration)..........most likely shorter, possibly lighter and absolutely more expensive.
Putting Ranting and Sharp Things on Ignore sure make this place more enjoyable.

Hoyt put out a bow in 2010 that was over 340 IBO....It was called the Alpha Burner....I had one ....It had no valley!!!!! If you relaxed or creep ed at full draw.... it was ready to rip your shoulder off..... god I loved that bow.......
