Bowshopper, I'm sure your last remarks are tounge in cheek. But what is estimating range? It's guessing how far away something is. Some people are good at it, some are not. I think the intent of this thread is to illustrate the fact that some people may use a fast bow as a crutch, to overcome poor range judging skills. Some may use it as a substitute, not giving a thought for distance. That's where I see the problem. See the deer, shoot the deer. It was over there, about that far.
I'm sure that after the deer at 30 yds moved towards you, you realized it was now under 30 yds.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
