I'm not sure anyone sets out to buy a "speed" bow that will shoot one pin out to 30yds just because they suck at judging yardage. I hope that most people in this forum can accurately judge yardage out to 30 yds within a yard or two, if not they should not be hunting. With most every set up, a yard or two will not make any difference in a hunting situation. What the speed bow does offer is the simplicity of one pin out to 30 yds. I don't own a speed bow, but I do see its benefits.

I think yardage estimation is blown out of proportion on this forum mainly because a lot a people in here know more about 3D shooting than they know about actual hunting situations. Yes, a 2 or 3 inch drop in arrow flight may cause you to miss the 12 ring but it has very little effect on placing an arrow through the vitals of a deer.

I think we have way to many "shooting" experts in this forum. I think we need a little more input from the experienced hunters. Just my humble opinions.
