![]() I’ve owned some of the bows in this review for years and have hunted or competed with them. I also took note of their post-shot reaction. While shooting the bows, I noted the perceived vibration and sound each produced. If anything, the speed of each bow shows how similar each of these bows perform. There are many factors that can change a bow’s speed by 5 fps up or down, and I don’t recommend using speed as a factor for determining which bow to buy. The speeds given must be taken with a grain of salt. Not every bow tuned with the same arrow, so I listed the arrow weight for each bow in the key features section as well as the brace height and draw weight. I went to ten shots because I wasn’t using a shooting machine or draw check, and a bad release or ¼ inch of draw length variation can cause speed to vary. ![]() Speed was measured using a Lab Radar Chronograph, and the figure provided is based on a ten-shot average. This improved accuracy and helped me provide accurate speed data. I set up and bareshaft tuned each bow at 20 yards. Bows with grips that are too rounded or wide can cause inconsistent results. I look for grips that encourage proper technique and consistent grip pressure. But, if you can’t shoot all the bows, I reviewed them on the following criteria to help you make a decision. The absolute best way to choose one is to shoot it. I can’t stress enough that there is no one best recurve bow, and choosing a bow that you like is very subjective. How I Evaluated Recurve Bows A LabRadar doppler chronograph was used to measure arrow speed.
