I wouldn't shoot that far on game. One step by an animal between the point of no return on the release by the time the arrow got there would be the difference between a kill and a wound.
Wounding may depend on speed:
Really??? Lets take a look at that,
An animal traveling at 2mph (slow), can travel 3 feet in 1 second. An arrow travels 50 yards at a speed 300 fps (constant, no loss of speed), can get there in 1/2 second. So, if an animal decides to take a step between the time you release and the time the arrow gets there, it could be 1 1/2 feet off.
All will be time & what the kill may may be doing: but jumping the string also requires time for the noise to get to the kill and then the muscle flex. And one should always lead a moving animal.
