I've always believed deer react to the sound of the arrow more than the bow. Magnus effect is that called? Stand downrange (with a safe barrier) and listen.
We used to be off to the side at 3D tournaments and you could hear every single arrow way before it hit the target, regardless of the bow speed. Animals have way better hearing and reaction time than we do, so they absolutely have time to react. It is not a perfect science since some may be calmer, or just less skittish, by nature. Bottom line for me is that perfect spot selection and limited range trumps all other factors. Doesn't matter if you shoot a 400 fps bow or 200, super quiet or super loud, they still have time to react and mess up an otherwise perfectly placed shot, just from the fetching noise alone. I will say vanes were more quiet in air than feather fetching, but either alert the deer.I've always believed deer react to the sound of the arrow more than the bow. Magnus effect is that called?

Sticking that pig to the palm tree was very satisfying......Grant released another related video just now...

I built my arrows based on watching his channel. Only think I did not stick with was the EZV sight... But that's another topic. LolI've watched a lot of ranch fairys vids and he claims they are hearing the thump of the string and then the buzz of that fletching coming at them. Very good stuff. Heavy is deffinetly quieter

But its only a 35 yd shot! This buck ducks, turns, and starts back up before the arrow arrived.
