How fast does your bow shoot?

Thanks for the info....I shot a Parker (31inch draw, 70 pd) for years, and had it tuned in nicely. I used 1 pin 0-30 yards with an 80 grain head. I shot carbon express 55-65 arrows. I never shot it through a chrony tho.

My wife got me a Z7 matthews (30 inch draw, 70 pounds) in 2010, and I love it; however, it didn't seem to shoot near as fast as my other bow. I did buy new Mayhem 350 arrows for my matthews. I took it to the archery shop last week and it shot 289FS, but when I shot one of my old arrows (carbon express 55-65) it shot 318FS. I ORDERED SOME MORE OF THE CARBON EXPRESS arrows.

Strother SR-71 29" draw 70lbs. Gold tip xt hunters 100 grain heads. 328-331 on the chrony.

thats great! whats your arrow weight?
I can't remember exact weight but it was between 350 and 360, 354 I'm thinking.

Believe those are underspined or at least borderline... but mine are too, however i think if they group good I dont care I just want the speed for my hunting bow...

508 grain total arrow weight (including tip and insert)

I have no idea and don't care.

Then why answer?

Because speed is over-rated. Like Radar says, speed sells bows.
Speed sales bows for a reason! It takes a lot of the yardage guessing out!!!!
Speed is great but I think what they mean is don't sacrifice accuracy for extra poundage and speed!!!. Keep it comfortable and keep good form and if the speed is there , well that's just a bonus!!!
