They've taken the 'arch' out of archery, so now I guess we have to call it 'flattery.' [8D]
Trust me, there's still plenty of arch in archery. Arrows moving at 280fps still drop, quiet a bit.
Here's a number for you, you are shooting 280fps at a 3D target. We'll just say the Mckenzie Large Alert Deer. The target is at 40yds. In order to hit a 12 ring (ASA Scoring) you have to shoot it for somewhere between 39.1-41.7 yards I believe. Someone with Archers Advantage can tell me the exact numbers. That's still pretty precise. Once I get to work, I can spit out more numbers, for hunting situations and ranges.
Like Jeff said, he's bringing his hunting closer, if you are shooting 25yds and under, no matter what, speed isn't
as much of an issue.
The comment was made, that you need to practice more at judging yardage. I would be willing to bet that I practice judging yardage more than anyone else on the forums, or atleast pretty darn close. In fact, I've already done so this morning. I'll go judge yardage EVERY morning and then shoot in the afternoons. Now, it's not my hunting setup, but it still counts.
