For those of you who have been
keeping track of the 320-plus club, you'll notice that the list is getting
smaller.
Of course bows will be
discontinued from time to time. However, I believe the bow industry is
starting level off with respect to speed. It seems the focus has now moved
more toward accuracy and smoother shooting.
Got an opinion on bow speed?
