I agree with Auther , and will and that ,the animal you are shooting at will jump alot more with a bow shooting a light fast arrow , as its goint to be lots louder at the shot , if thats your concern . Im shooting around 265 fps and had a doe completly drop out of the way this year on a 35 yard shot , think Ill try some heavery arrows next year as , that is the first deer I have actualy seen drop from "jumping the string"
I shot one this year that no matter what it did it was dead. One of those shots often talked about that guys would never take.It did drop and spin and the arrow blew a hole through it's chest. Went up a steep embankment shook a little and crashed backwards landing in almost the same spot where I shot it.
Shoot some heavier arrows this summer and see. I shot several thislast summer,some where zipping for my rig. I settled on what I wanted. Worked well for me.The sound isn't always that bad. I used beaver balls this year. Try those out. I liked them.
Good hunting!
