I like speed bows, but not if they sound like a rifle going off, I think it is a give and take question, the faster the bow and the lighter the arrow the more noise bows will produce, the quieter the bow the slower they normally shoot, I have had very good luck shooting around the 300 fps mark, it seems to me at that speed animals don't have much of a chance to jump your string at close yardages.

There isn't a bow out there so fast that a deer can't react to it if they hear it.
I prefer a quiet bow.....but I don't want a snail either.
Luckily my MQ1 gives me both.

I'd much rather shoot a quiet arrow at 200 fps than one moving 300 fps but sounds like a firecracker when shot.
With the speed of sound being around 1100 fps, and a deer's reaction time about 1/10th of 1 second, there's not an arrow out there fast enough if your set-up is noisy.
