RE: speed vs ke
I know what you're talking. Modern compound, blah, blah, blah... You are talking about a specific type of bow at a specific power level.
What about the guy who wanders into the local box store and heads out to hunt with an inexpensive entry level round wheel, 50 pound PSE? What about a 10 year old kid going out to hunt with the 40 pound compound his dad just set him up with? They are both proud owners of brand new, modern compounds aren't they? Only two teensie weensie differences between their modern compounds and yours. Power and performance level.
Say these folks saw your post about blowing through elk with an arrow that weighed less than 350 grains. Suppose they decided that would be perfect for them as well and they went and set themselves up with arrows in that weight range. Would you feel comfortable with that, knowing their bows are much less powerful than the setup you used to perform such magic?
Guys like you worry me. You hardly ever think outside your own little world. And you get all bent out of shape whenever anyone has the audacity to disagree with you and say there is another way to look at things. And heaven forbid that anyone should blatantly say out loud, in front of God and everybody, that your way is dead wrong for a whole bunch of folks that are not using bows with the latest performance technology.
I know my way will work on ANY bow of legal hunting weight. Your way is pretty exclusive only to bows with a pretty high minimum performance level. Once you admit to that, maybe we've made some progress.
