But, I still use wood arrows, what do I know..
Yes. They did away with the rule a few years back. For my personal setup i dont get very worked up over speed. But, if it works for you the change is nice because its one less thing to worry about.
For hunting, I would take a heavy arrow over speed 100% of the time. A good combination is ideal.....
I believe the poundage rule states 40lb at 28" or less. So, compounds meet the requirement that way.
I have a ‘large’ friend that shoots 632 (measured) grain 32” aluminum full length arrows with his old Hoyt bow that is 87 lbs (measured three times) and he pulls it back and holds it like it is nothing. That is speed and weight. You ain’t seen nothing until you see someone shoot something like that. Every shot knocked over my target. It was worth going and setting it up just to watch him knock it over again. Reminded me of watching Brock Lesner yanking a deer he shot out of a creek, and then walking off, dragging it with one hand. They are both very powerful humans. Me? Before shoulder surgeries, 63 lb bow shooting 365 grains. My deer have been through and through shots, but none were more than 20 yards away. If you go light on pounds, get closer.
