So what is a slow bow?

yea.....the thing about owning areal fast bow is that by the time you set up arrow flight with correct F.O.C then add an illuminated knock and some longer vanes.....maybe feel the need for some limb dampners...? or waht ever maybe even a hunting weight arrow off more then 380 grains
all the sudden 503 fp.s is down to 476 f.p.s. and thats ok.

That 370 fp.s bow is not ever getting faster no mater what you do to it.
 
to measure a bow in.f.p.s does indeed tell how efficient the bow transfers energy to the arrow.

IN THE END.......thats is the only job the bow has.............. 🤪

if i can get 370 f.p.s out of abow with a 400 grainer its garage sale material.

faster bows require more from the user, like you should own a good press and be able to swap string and cables.

hence the term...over bowed.

i do think arrow weight will have to creep up gradually as the bows get faster, for 2 reasons

to avoid a total drifier state and to gain more foc.
