Default RE: speed

ORIGINAL: TeeJay

Sticum do ya gun hunt? If the answer was yes im assuming that you use a .410 single shot with a scope. Because you know speed just doesnt matter just accuracy right. Get a grip

Whats this statement mean? Do you think its better to use a 22-250 over a 308 because its faster & flatter?

How far you gonna shoot a deer anyway. I know I can hit out past 30 yards but in all honesty I doubt I'v shot one past 25 & I'm sure most were way within 20.

I gun hunt & just like bowhunting the "pro's" will tell you you need a new super duper 300 WSSM or some thing or other fancy flat shooting gun or you'll be screwed in a long shot scenerio.
Then I go out every year with my 30/30 or more recently 45/70 with its rainbow trajectory & get my deer while alot of the up to date guys go home with tags instead.
Its about proficiency with what you choose to use.

I wont buy a new bow because I cant see spending close to $1000 for a new one when I know the one's I have work just fine.

I shot thru a chrono with 2216's this summer & it clocked my arrow at 240 FPS from my Martin, I then switched to 2219's so I reckon theyre going a bit slower now & yet with all that theres 5 less deer in CT this year.

You want speed thats fine, but it IS acuracy that kills. If all you want a fast bow for is so you can sight in at 25 yards & shoot out to 50 with the same pin thats fine by me. Just be sure to practice at that range. Shouldnt knock a guy with a different opinion tho.
