ButI know one thing without question......Let's say I shoot a target for 35 yards and it is 40. My old Bear Whitetail would shoot plumb under the deer, not even touching it. Now, my new UltraTec would put a kill shot on it, no question. One thing is obvious......speed is a contributing factor to better shooting. I also agree, though, that too fast contributes to poor shooting.
This is totally true when your talking the speed out of your Bear (assuming low 200's) compared to your UltraTech at 288....what I'm refering to is todays bows and wanting 300 when your already shooting 288 and degrading your setup by going to possibly a underspined arrow to lighten it up, cranking down your bow to unnecessary poundages, lighter heads lowering FOC etc....
There is a significant difference between 225 fps and 285 fps as there is with 250 fps and 325 fps....but tweaking 20-30 fps while taking unnecessary extremes on setup when one is doing nothing more than making their setup less efficient in most cases.
Again, dead on accuracy and high speeds are a wonderful thing especially when we're talking KE....but in hunting situations people make unnecessary changes degrading their effeciency.
