    Ugh... The offseason is here.

    Accuracy - And it shouldn't be a question.

    There is a saying "Fast is fine, but accurate is final"

    i would venture to say that over millennia, billions of animals have been successfully harvested with accurately placed arrows that were traveling less than 200fps. In turn, I would venture to guess that over the past 2 decades, Millions of animals have been maimed and never recovered by poorly placed arrows traveling in excess of 300fps.

    a fast bow that can hit nothing is pretty useless

    I love how a question like this always gets "accuracy" but the next thread will bash (insert bow manufacture) for their new bow that has a "slow" IBO.

    Take accuracy over speed in a heartbeat. Lol i dont have too much of a choice with a 27" draw hard for me to get alot of speed but speed just makes you miss faster :P

    I think we should dig up all of the threads that were started on the Mathews HTR last year and see if everyone who says accuracy now was saying it then too.

    Speed. I have 4 arrows in my quiver and with a little Kentucky windage I know my next shot will hit its mark.
