RE: A deer can duck an....arrow??!!
Straight, It was well thought out and authored. The part that was bunk was the theme that a faster rig will reduce the chances of missing because of string jump. The article was written to advertise for the faster setups. Buy! Buy! Buy!
Speed begets noise....period. The faster we yen to push that projectile, the more noise the rig will make. "For every action there is and equal and opposite reaction." Why are there all kinds of "quiet" acessories being sold?
It also said that a deer drops what? 6 inches? Well guess again author! I have videos of deer dropping 18" in less than that time! Where's your arrow at now?
The times and dropping distances were not very well researched.
The buck and doe comparisons were somewhat correct until he added the numbers. Bucks tend to be more chilled than a doe in a given situation. During the rut I wouldn't expect a jump from a buck at all unless he has you pegged or is immature. It should have been a general statement.
Hunters should stop trying to analyze the speed thing and hunt. I base my shots more on the mood of the deer. Nervous, I'm holding low..
Speed only kills on the highways.
