Default RE: The speed bow controversy

I had an interesting thing happen to me in WV a week ago. I had a broad side shot at 40 yds. This was a shot that I was pretty comfortable with but I missed. Just as I squeezed the release the deer turned away down the hill and the arrow took a chuck of hair from the chest. I was so happy to see no blood on the arrow and just hair. I watched the deer snort and walk off. Wow that could have been a real mess. Not that I won't take that shot again, but my mistake was that I saw the deer drop its ears imo. This should have been an indication to me to wait to see what happened knowing movement was coming up. I posted this because I shoot 312fps and it still was not fast enough, not that I would ever trade in that speed for anything. Also, I hope to pass along something that not alot speak of and that is the deer's posture, ears tuned in, eyes at or away, tail, etc. This was a lesson learned...
