At the ranges I shoot deer the noise bothers me alot more than them.. It's the arrow they don't seem to like. Everything I have shot with the Pheonix this year has been under 20 yards and they don't even have time to start cocking those legs..

I wonder how much sooner the sound gets to a deer than an arrow at 20 yards.........................................Spee d of sound about 700fps or sumpin vs. yada yada == I guess I have no idea..
