Default RE: 285 fps vs 305 fps, pin gap etc...

I agree compeletely, and great post by the way! This is why I switched to a single pin slider. The pin gap is just so close, all the pins blur together. One question I do have, since I am just really getting into 3D tourneys.......Even though the pin gap is the same, the arrow drop isn't, correct? What I mean is this. Let's say a given target is 32 yards out. I pick 34 and let fly. Now, by golly, that's a pretty good guestimate, but I am going to be high.

Given that scenario, here's the question. The bow shooting 285 will be an inch high lets say.....how much higher would the bow shooting 305 be? Now, keep in mind that other than the speeds, these numbers have been pulled out of the air. Made up.

An inch isn't gonna matter squat in a tree stand on a deer, but it could mean a 12 or a 10 in competition. This is why I am a speed freak, I am simply not good enough to be EXACT on my yardage, not yet anyway.
