I went to a local shoot that was a Toys For Tots benefit shoot.All classes shot from the same stake so it was basically set up for hunters.Fairly common bowhunter distances but for the mbr and open,it would be considered really close.


I was using my hunting setup at 53#'s and shooting a whopping 236 fps[].I only had 2, 8's all day long and 1 of them was a freaking 10 yard pig I pushed out the top with a bad release.[:@] Well,I got into a good rythum about half way through and started stroking 11's.There was probably only 20 visible 11'sthat could be counted and I ended up with (9)11's.(Would have had more if they would have been in the targets.)


Ended with a 305 and was quite content.[:-]


Point is,you still have to judge yardage,even if you are shooting a fast bow to win at 3-d.Not saying a little speed doesn't help,but don't count on it,learn to judge.
