    Definitely a true arrow. I really don't care how fast it gets there just as long as it hits it's mark when it arrives. :)

    Talk about a no brainer...a true arrow of course.

    A fast miss doesn't do anyone any good.

    Accuracy for sure. Is that what you call a true arrow? As for speed, I like a balance of light vs heavy as I am more of a proponent of momentum.....heavier is better than really light IMO.

    Some guys are all about shooting more poundage than they can honestly, comfortably shoot accurately...of course everyone is gonna say a true arrow, but how many are being honest here?;)

    I think most folks on this site are responsible, ethical bowhunters. Many are into fast arrows but I'm pretty confident that they are not sacrificing accuracy for speed. They may be willing to give up some KE but NOT accuracy.

    True of course.... but true and fast would be nice.:cool:

    Don't understand the point of the above quote. It's up to you to buy he bow tht fits you,
    I bought a 60-70# bow and absolutely max it out. I can and have shot 2, 600 rounds (120 arrows) at on a given league night if I can't make the next week. If I thougt my scores would suffer..I wouldn't do that.

    If you aren't going to believe the responses why ask the question?

    To answer the question: A true arrow, correctly spined, correctly balanced and accurate is more important to me.

    True arrow for me. Speed is pointless if the arrow doesn't fly true.
