Default RE: FAST??

Honest question guys -Regarding speed versus KE

Which of these two do you think are more likely to happen:
[ol][*]You misjudge the yardage and hit high/low; or[*]You make a good hit inthe vitals and don't have enough KE to penetrate.[/ol]

Let's just presume that both guys are using 60-70# bows, and both arrows are packing more than 55# KE. (likely)


Personally, I think I'm more likely to screw up (on a whitetail)by misjudging the yardage on a longer shot - than I am to lose a deer b/c I made a good hit but my arrow didn't penetrate. That's why I play the speed game.

Now if I were hunting rhinoceros or polar bears - my opinion would change.
