does speed matter

[NorthShoreLB]

If you hit the rigth spot with a decent weigth arrow at 160 fps, you'll have a kill.

Same spot same arrow at 195fps, you'll have a kill.

does speed matter?...I guess in the eye of the beholder.

That statement is Miss leading NSLB and unfinished.  To many Options, type of animal, weight of arrow, type of BH, Shot angle, Hit bone or not...The list could go on.  This "Speed issue is a bug under your skin for some reason...Let it go........Mark

Would you rather have a baseball thrown by a little leaguer hit you or one by Nolan Ryan?

DD really answered it perfect...Speed matters...without it you are holding an arrow.  It isn't in the eye of the beholder...unless the beholder wants to make a pen out of an arrow and write with it...then I agree, speed doesn't matter...unless you are using it to take a timed test, then we are back to square one.


Can I come hunting too, Terry...please

Keep in mind, David, that some of these little leaguers are 20+ years old

Lots of good reponses. My own observation is that -Yes , speed matters but not nearly as much as many people seem to believe.

I missed some game really fast.....and hit my first deer fairly slowly. Hitting slow always trumps missing fast.
