And I've been called worse than a fool by a lot better than you. So far, I've been called silly, foolish, anti-hunting, PETA and various other names even less kind that haven't come out on the screen, I'm sure. All because I've asked for less emphasis to be put on the misjudged yardage aspect of shooting speed.<img src=icon_smile_dissapprove.gif border=0 align=middle>
Once more.... Talking about covering your butt in case of accidently misjudging yardage by a couple of yards is one thing. Saying you shoot light and fast because you can't judge yardage... THAT is what I'm talking about being unethical.

IF you can shoot a fast bow accurately,your yardage judging becomes LESS critical.

Less critical, certainly, but within 30 yards where most bowhunting shots are taken, not to any great degree. Further shots, 30-40 yards, precise estimation gets even more critical. Further than that, 40-60 yards, you've got to be right on the money with either a 300 fps arrow or a 150 fps arrow. Factor in the 'archers minute of angle accuracy' of 1" per every 10 yards, there is no margin of error on the long stuff.
