I do agree Anthony but the truth is our crossbows can shoot 350 grain total weight arrows with no issues. The problem is we send 150 grain tips with the crossbows which people mistakenly assume they have to shoot. We just found more front of center weight helped with accuracy when shooting fixed blade heads. But, you can shoot 100 grain mechanical broad heads to get the full arrows speed and still maintain great accuracy and not hurt the crossbow. Maybe we need to show expected speeds with various arrow setups?....what i don't get in marketing is why can't you guys use what an "average person" uses to come up with your data....why does it "ALWAYS" have to be what the average person does not use or do...and don't say you guys DONT KNOW what the average person does under average circumstances....
....just my take on the whole concept of marketing...people buy based upon marketing and then are disappointed...to me it should be, "under promise and then over deliver"....word of mouth will get the truth out !
The archery industry has pushed the speed thing since it sells bows. The truth is arrow speed is really not the most important aspect of a crossbows performance, accuracy really is. But, if a crossbow is advertised to shoot 400 fps it really should do that and our products are typically pretty close. I know of 405's that shot over 410 fps!
We are planning on taking a video of a new Bulldog out the box and shooting it through a chronograph to see what we get...stay tuned!
