This is JMO, sedate velocities do as well or nearly as well.....possibly better than the higher velocities! The only real advantage of speed is flatting the trajectory a bit, making longer shots a bit easier! In fact, unless I misunderstood John Linebaugh, the WFN actually penetrate deeper when impact velocity is in the 1000 to 1200 fps range vs. higher velocities! I’m stating that from memory......so the velocity numbers may be a little off from what he actually told me! memtb
