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

Boy I need to get TAP......can someone who has it run these numbers and list 40 yards as the aiming point on an actual 45 yard target.
Meaning if I screw up and misjudge an actual 45yd target for 40 yards how much will each arrow drop at 45 yards.

Here are last years and this years numbers and I'm hoping to see at least an 1" or so of wiggle room on drop for a 5yd mistake on the faster arrow. (The reason I sped up for this season)

Here is my arrow selection one year to the next.....I will even match up the components for comparison sake even though I shot 4" vanes last year.

28.5" shaft @ .338 outside diameter (GT Pro22's)
1.825" vanes
.375" vane height , 3 vanes total (Duravane 3D)

312 @ 284fps (last years actual speed)
312 @ 306fps (this years actual speed)

How much leeway is that extra 22fps giving me on the 45 yard target that I undershoot by 5yds?
