Does speed matter in this case?
Guy with slow bow estimates deer at 22 yds, Deer is really 27 yds and he misses low.
Same guy with fast bow estimates deer at 22 yds, deer is really 27 yds but he hits it in the heart and kills it.
Yeah it matters. I had this exact scenario occur. I thought the deer was 24-27yds.....and he ended up being 33yds. He's dead. Speed was a contributor.
But I've had a BIG, HUGE change of heart.....as far as bow speed is concerned.......
My hunting style and general hunting opinion lends itself to speed being a minimal factor in my hunting setups.
That's the way I want to be, as well. In my future hunting of deer......the speed of my bow will become less and less important.
Good posts in here, Rybo.
