Matt,

Shows how slow we humans are to deer!

Another thing, try going to a national 3D tournament-not the local yocal stuff-and see what speeds are winning the tournament. 282 rules the roost-especially in the upper classes, and the guys in the 310+ range are usually a long ways out of it.

The reason is, is accuracy. Even without a broadhead excess speed is not accurate enough to compete with, so most of the experienced shooters don't do it. Especially most of the pros, most shoot the same combo for ASA and IBO-280-282. The accuracy gains are a much better trade off for speed, especially when money is on the line. Add a broadhead and the accuracy thing goes out the window. Most bowhunters can't even begin to tune an arrow at 280 with a broadhead, let alone 320.

You are one of the few who must be able to, but most can't, and I hope articles like the one from Bill Winke don't encourage people to think they can all do what you do.

Maybe I'm just to picky about my equipment-who cares about 3 inches anyways?!

Maybe I shouldn't care if someone is mislead to beleive the can defy the survival actions of a whitetail deer-I might add they may be a bit more speedy than a humans reaction time.

I know I have an inherant flaw of trying to be as accurate as possible-maybe just my competitive nature.

I should probably learn to be a little looser and be satisfied with chances and almosts, but something inside of me just makes me want to plan and prepare to be my best.

The average shooter should not be shooting over 270 for hunting, but to each his own.
