I am looking at a lot of different bows to buy and don’t know what speed I should look for.  What is the average speed of a compound bow in feet per second (fps)?

The average speed of a compound bow in feet per second (fps) can vary depending on a number of factors, such as the bow's draw weight, draw length, and arrow weight.

However, most modern compound bows have an average speed ranging from 250 to 350 fps, with some high-end models capable of reaching speeds of over 400 fps. The speed of a bow can be important for hunters and competitive archers who require a flatter arrow trajectory and more kinetic energy for a successful shot.

It's important to note that while a higher IBO bow speed can be advantageous in certain situations, such as long-distance shooting or hunting large game, it's not the only factor to consider when choosing a bow. Other factors such as accuracy, comfort, and fit are also important for overall performance and success.
