I know FPS goes hand in hand with Kinetic energy...so what kind of KE does a 110 lb draw have vs. 125 lbs
Eyes explained it well. There are 280 pound crossbows that have less KE and speed than some 110 pound crossbows. Design and efficiency rule.
Some of the more efficient crossbows out there are decreasing their draw weights while utilizing new designs that allow for increasing power strokes to achieve impressive speeds.
A draw weight restriction is a really old way to regulate crossbows. 20 years ago, yes, it would have weeded out underperforming devices. Today, it weeds out some of the most efficient designs out there.
And what good is a draw weight restriction if it is about impossible to enforce in the field?
