How common is it to have animals "jump the string" and move before the arrow gets there? Any bad experiences with it? I personally have not had any, but I’m just curious what others may have experienced.
A lot of people are shooting a long ways at animals these days. Just curious about what bow speeds and shot distances people are comfortable with for longer shots.
Random Facts:
Time of flight for a 300 fps arrow going 80 yards is .8 seconds
A humans reaction time (for comparison) to an audible stimulus is .17 seconds. A 300 fps bow can only go 17 yards in that time.
Do your thoughts on the subject change depending on animal? Whitetails can be pretty high strung. Elk seem to be less cagey. Muleys… well, they’re muleys.
