I agree with Magic. Shot placement or even being able to get into position for the shot is more important, I believe. Speed is important to a certain degree, but my Vectrix at 63#only shoots my 501gr (heavy)arrow at 250fps (slow by todays standards), but I get 69 1/2 ft/lbs of KE. That's what does my killing. I shot at 3 deer, a 7pt, and 2 doe last year killing all 3 with pass throughs. One of them, a big doe was 30yrds out!I would have to see a deer jump my string at 20yrds or closer to believe it!
A deer that can do that was already on edge, caught odor and or movement.
Order "The Grind" from WKP. Todd puts the shot on the heart and the slow motion shows the buck drop a good 6-8 inches and take a high lung shot. I will be putting arount 89# of KE with my new rig with a 410-440gr. arrow but should be hitting 300-310fps according to MECHDOC's calculations. I'll take the faster shooting arrow anyday and some KE to boot.
How close was the deer, and was it on alert in any way?I won't go back and forth with this, and I won't say it never happens either. It has never happened to me though. And yes, raceway, that's an awesome combo you've got going for you. Like I asked before, what do you have like 5 man cards shooting that rig?
It looked like a 20 yard shot. The deer broadside and looking the opposite way, it surprised the heck out of me. Todd was also shooting what looked like a Bowtech Ally so he wasn't exactly shooting a slow setup from what I could see. Order the video and check it out, you won't be dissapointed!
