Are you telling me you're willing to shoot an elephant with a ten pound recurve and arrows tipped with rubber suction cups? I'm sure you have the skill to do it. But do you have the courage to get close enough to pull off this incrediablefeat?
Now that example is a little far-fetched,dontcha' think? If I was inclined to hunt elephant,I'd use an appropriate weapon--whether it's an 85# recurve(or whatever)or a .500 nitro.
A 50yd shot is a 50yd regardless if your bow shoots 220fps or 320fps.If you're sighted in at 50yds,speed makes no differance at all,you should make the shot.If you rely on speed as a crutch because of range estimation--get closer
