Makesmoosecry,
I apologize if some of the following is a bit of a non-answer. To me, and this goes for both target and hunting bows, speed is a priority, but it’s not the priority. You can absolutely find hunting bows that are fast and forgiving, stable, smooth, and accurate. You can also find speed demon stickbows that are better suited for shooting through chronographs than animals. I’ve shot several bows over the years that were extremely fast, but so twitchy I’d never consider hunting with one. I only say that as a caveat; beware if you buy a bow based solely on chronograph numbers.
More to the point of your question, I’d suggest you go to the below link. It’s the web site for Blacky Schwarz, a masthead contributor for TBM who write all their bow reviews. You can sift through his online data for all he bows he’s tested and see how they compare on a number of different levels, including speed. Whatever you decide, always try to shoot a particular bow before you buy one. In the end, the most important thing is how it feels and shoots for you, not any of us.
