saying i did this right and my math correct,(which it should be) at a distance of 60ft.(20yds) an arrow traveling at 230fps will reach its target at .2609s, same distance arrow traveling at 260fps .2308s 280fps is.2143 and traveling at 300 is .2s Now take the distance to 30yrds an arrow traveling at 230fps with reach its target is .3913s, 260fps .3462, 280 .3214 and traveling at 300fps it is just .3s so really a faster louder bow will not reach the target much faster than a slow quiet bow, and the quieter bow will have less chance to spook the deer than the louder bow, just my .10
