Does anyone care about accuracy?

I don't have a clue how fast my arrows go - but I do care where they land.

ewolf, I see your point and understand what you're getting at. Some guys buy a fast bow for the only reason of it being fast and flat shooting and consider the bow and also, by extension, themselves better and more capable of making longer shots. I am by no means saying that if you own a fast bow you don't care about accuracy. If I could afford a new bow, speed would definately be a major factor in what bow I purchased. The only point I am trying to make is that people kill animals, not bows. A bowhunter needs to know what he is capable of and not what his bow is capable of.

My "fast inaccurate" Bowtech Pro 40 dually set at 60# shoots a 305gr arrow at 314fps... and it's soo inaccurate that while during my indoor league I shot a 298 w/ 38x's.. yes I could do better.. but I gotta get over the nerves and mental side 1st.

But I do understand what some are saying... some people need to practice alot more than they do... they owe it to the animals they are hunting.

Ummm , that kind of goes against ewolfs original posting.
The Bowtech Pro 40 dually , is not a short ata , low brace height , bow made strictly for speed.
The Pro40 is considered to be one of the more accurate friendly bows out there. Thats why it's popular in the 3d world.
