The three deer that my wife and I shot this year,, if you add up the total yardage of the three shots it was 27 yards. Two shots at 10yards for me and one at 7 yards for the wife, from the ground. How many shots did we practice at 7 to 10 yards? NONE. WE did most all out shooting at 30 to 60 yards and farther. How much accuracy do we really need to design into a compound hunting bow in the form of ideal brace height, ATA length or reflex/deflex?
I'd like to see a bow with 7 1/2 inches or more of brace height, weigh 3 1/2 pounds or less before any accessories and an ATA length of 25 1/2 to 27 1/2 inches for ground blind or treestand hunting. I don't shoot with a peep and with a string loop, there wouldn't be a nock pinch problem.
Make this bow without fancy cutouts but close tolerances in the limb pockets would be necessary. Keep the cost down on excessive labor but use quality materials. A slender rubber grip and don't worry about stabilizer inserts or holes.
The longest shot I've ever made or attempted on deer in 32 years was 28 yards but the last 6 have been 15 yards or less bow kills. For hunting most don't need FITA accuracy out of their set up but target archery requires more consideration in bow design..
