RE: 285 fps vs 305 fps, pin gap etc...
While I do see your point to an extent, I do however disagree.....
Lets say we have three setups. One shoots 285, 305 and 325.
The 285 FPS setup will have 13.32 inches of drop from 20 - 40 yards.
The 305 FPS setup will have 11.05 inches of drop from 20 - 40 yards.
The 325 FPS setup will have 9.18 inches of drop from 20 -40 yards.
Speed does make a difference. Bascially youeliminate one inch of arch for every 10 FPS increase in arrow speed in your trajectory from 20 - 40 yards.
Two inches of flattened trajectory for 20 FPS is nothing to sneeze at IMO.
