Weve discussed this a lot.....and I just wanted to get your take on this.

BuckMaster and I were shooting in a 3D tournament with a guy from TN a while back......and he said he shot 17 deer, the previous season (donated almost all of his venison to the needy - commendable). He was a tremendous shooter (couple of national championships in his class - ASA) and I picked his brain for a while. We were discussing the speed of my arrows at the time (out of my '07 Allegiance)....and he said he likes to shoot his hunting bow at about 250fps. When I asked "why".....he said he can see the arrow at that speed......make impact.

I can't see mine make impact. Period. I'm not looking for the "impact"....but I hear a lot of guys say they do.

With all the talk about "overkill" on speed and poundage (although they're not necessarily connected)......it got me to thinking....

Do we "really" see the fletchings make impact? I wouldn't ever say one "doesn't". I'll just say I don't.

I've been watching for this when I see videos on TV, too. I can't see it (impact)....unless we're talking about seeing a hole open up (which I CAN see on TV and in real life......"sometimes").

Just picking your collective brains....
