Speed is an asset for 3-D shooting. Range estimation beyond 35 yards is critical. The faster and flatter the arrow trajectory the greater the chances of impact on the target near the sight point, even if the yardage estimate is a bit off. In a hunting situation few hunters will shoot at game at a greater distance than 40 yards. At this range with the help of a range finder or predetermined yardage markers speed is not as important as energy and penetration.
