I'm not saying the shot's not deadly. I'm simply saying that there isn't a bow on the market that is so fast that a deer
can't jump the string under the right circumstances.
For the record...... .3 seconds is a very long time for a deer to react to a noise in the woods. .3 seconds is enough time for
me to react to a noise in the woods! More to my point, shave 10 fps off that and do your calculations again and see how little difference it makes.
