RE: A deer can duck an....arrow??!!

So now, to answer your original question more accurately:
<BLOCKQUOTE id=quotequote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>
How fast does an arrow have to be to fool the reaction time of a whitetail deer in less than 10 yards?<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>

The sound of a release will get to the deer in .027sec. Deer's raction time is 0.05sec.

0.05 + .027 = .077 sec before reaction takes place at 10yds.

30ft/.077sec = 389.6fps

The deer will hear the noise and not have a nanosecond to react....

At 20 yds you'd best be pushing 600fps...
