My target arrows are shooting 301.5fps. I've never chrono'd my hunting arrows.....but you can add 30gr. or so to the target arrows and probably get closer to an accurate guess than I can.
You will probably drop 10-15 fps...........so given your earlier account of guessing a deer at 24 yards (low extreme) and he was actually 33 you are talking about a miss of over 2" with this years bow and assuming the switchback was slower it was probably about a 4" miss. Those are unacceptable margins of error for me to guess at.........especially when shooting at a live animal that if I screw up could suffer for a long time.
Just think of how happy you would be if you were shooting in the yard and missing by 2" at best and by 4"+ at worst............I would be smashing my gear with a hammer and starting over.
This is a great point
Knowing how your bow shoots is just as important as knowingthe yardage.
I setup to get them close
