To get back to the original question, I don't think that anyone likes to shoot a slow bow. Cost, shootability, arrow weight, and a hundred other factors come into play when talking about arrow speed. We can get attached to a particular bow but if somehow we could add another 50 fps to our favorite bow without sacrificing anything few people would not take advantage of that.

Think again!!!
I love shooting my slow bow!!!

People's perspectives change on what is considered "sufficient".
Compare it to gas prices... gas around here is averaging 3.50 a gallon. How many people would be happy if gas was at $2.00 a gallon, Everyone would, but think about not too long ago when it was like $1.00 a gallon.
Since bows made it over 320 fps, all of a sudden 250 fps is not sufficient enough to kill a deer. i dont know about you, but deer skin isn't getting any thicker.

I guess you could call my bow slow (280 fps) compared to some of the dual cam fast bows out right now. I like the smooth easy draw, 80% let off, short Axle to Axle, low shock and quiet shooting. Having the fastest bow doesn't impress me anymore and hasn't for quite some time.
