Arrow speed is overhyped. I shoot a 1991 Jennings Sonic XL. 60lbs, 29" draw, 425 gr. total weight arrow with 125 gr. Hypershock mechanicals and a pendulum sight and finger shoot. Brand new this bow shot 220 fps in 1991. Now? Probably under 200. But I kill deer every year with it. If you wait for your shot and don't take "if'y" shots because you don't want to wait, then it's your own fault if you lose the deer. My friend lost a nice 8 point last year because he thought the deer was gonna leave him no shot so he took a quartering toward shot into its shoulder. Never did find that deer. Shot placement and patience are everything.

Never be upset by getting old, many never get the privilege.

Knock knock. Who's there? 9/11. 9/11 who? You said you'd never forget.
