Default RE: Arrow Speed, Misjudged Yardage & Ethics

I have to comment on this rangefinder stuff.NO ONE says to range a deer when it comes in.This task should be done well before hand.It isn't like you don't have time while your setting there waiting.By the time I get out of a stand I can tell you what every tree in a 30 yard range is.If I'm on a field I can tell you what every clump of grass or piece of paper is from my stand out to 50 yards.They can actually help pass the time of day.Another thing they do is acclamate your senses to the surroundings and you can actually guess the yardages that you havn't even scanned with the rangefinder.


This is really silly to be having to add this but some obviously have a hard time understanding the concept.


Big Country,good test.Seems to be showing that there is going to be rise and fall with any setup regardless of speed.There will be a difference but even at 45 yards there is a small difference.Less than 1" with the first 2 and there poundage plays a big role.The 3rd was using a heavier arrow and a lighter poundage.It was less than 3" lower than the absolute fastest bow.Match the poundage of the last bow and the results get even closer.The reason I say that is because most of the people out there only have 1 bow and try to get speed with a lighter arrow and it really doesn't help trajectory that much when you do that.
