Why didn't he give his speed?

And unmatched KE, LMAO! ! ! ! ! ! !

Anyway, that's not what this is about.

I had a Hoyt that I slowed down to 285 fps, it was much quieter than his bow in this video. At 19 yards I had a buck duck my arrow (not intentionally) so don't be fooled, they can react to sound. The speed of sound is 1,125 ft/s, a couple fps out of a bow here or there isn't going to make that much of a difference. Remember, the arrow is not in the air a full second at most bow rangers. So a fraction of a second is all we're talking about. Think about it.

I'll take quiet over speed but both are kinda nice! The video bow seemed loud to me.
