Makesmoosecry,
I don’t pretend to have the definitive answer to your question, but I’ll start out by saying the following is not my suggestion for any type of hunting bow.
If you’re looking for raw speed, then you’re looking for something that will handle extremely light arrows. In that regard, I would highly suggest a machined aluminum riser and carbon/foam ILF limbs. These combinations are used by World Cup and Olympic archers shooting under 7 gpp tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of times per year. They’re also used by many 3D archers shooting 5 gpp. A good friend of mine has competed with a Spigarelli riser and Winex limbs pulling 5 gpp for several years. My personal target setup pulls 44# @ 32” and shoots a 242-grain arrow 235 fps. The nice thing is they are also very forgiving and accurate. Again…not even remotely a hunting setup, and I would never suggest anyone try that with a bow not build to handle it.
