I don't need high velocity for my deer hunting. Long experience has shown 2200 fps is plenty for the woods hunting I do. I want my sight line and trajectory as close to the bore line as possible from 0-100 yards too, as it makes it much easier to thread bullets over and under intervening branches. No big scopes mounted high over bore and none of this 3 inches high at 100 yards stuff for me thanks. Just makes it tougher to thread the needle when I need to shoot over a branch at 20 yards and under another at 60 to hit a deer at 80.
