Ok, its a simple and easy question. I'm searching for a new to me bow for my elk hunt this sept. I currently have a RPM 360 and love it but it seems a little heavy for hiking and hunting. I'm torn between bows based on weight of the bow and speed. I have a set speed of 280 +/- with a minimum of 450 grain arrow setup. The bows I'm torn between are a Prime (Centergy, Logic, ION), Bowtech Carbon Icon, or a used Hoyt (Carbon Defiant, RX-1, Carbon Spider)
The question I have for others that have hunted elk in the back country, Should I be focused on the weight of the bow that much? I am also wondering what speeds people might be getting with their different bow (specifically one of the bows I'm looking into) setups. I'm more focused on if I should be keeping my attention on a light bow specifically or not.
Now please I am open to any and all information and am completely open minded when it comes to this stuff. If I'm crazy please tell me.
