Default RE: Speed of sound question. Need to settle a debate.

Someone once calculated that a bow would have to shoot faster than 700 feet per second before a deer couldn't get out of the way in time.

I've never had one jump. but then again, they didn't get a chance to hear that sound again.

I still wonder if the ones that do jump or duck, have been shot at before and they know that noise ain't good.
