If you're drawing over 26" and only getting 150, you're doing something wrong. My longbows range from 175-190fps, depending on the bow draw weight and the arrow weight. Most recurves will do better than that, with everything being equal. Plus, how loud is that Hoyt at 315? Speed does no good if the deer jumps the string. Last, what arrow weight? 5gr/lb at 30" is what's quoted for IBO speed ratings, but is way light for hunting, IMO. To make a fair comparison, fletch up an arrow at 9-11gr/lb and shoot it through a chronograph. You'd probably be shocked at the speed, or lack thereof. If we all liked the same things, they'd only make one model of bow, one of rifle, etc. Shooting instinctive takes more practice and does limit my range, compared to a compound with sights, but I'm not looking for the easiest way to kill a deer.
As for hunting grizz's with a .22, I'm not interested
