[QUOTE="CMP70306, post: 2674042, member: 36999"] Already have a chart for that based on video of a yearling doe I shot at at 25 yards. Based on the frames and timing I calculated approximately 0.17 seconds from the time the deer heard the sound until it moved from the flight path of the bolt. The below chart gives you an approximate max range assuming the worst case deer movement. [ATTACH type="full"]414012[/ATTACH] Contrary to popular belief it’s actually better to shoot a deer with its head raised. [ATTACH type="full"]414014[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]414013[/ATTACH] They will absolutely duck a crossbow, my Turbo XLT2 proved that every time I shot it at a deer even as close as 25 yards. The nine point I shot at on the opening day of archery this year however did not duck when shot at with the RS470, which was the problem because my zero had moved itself 4 inches low while sitting in the cabin and it sailed right under him at 35 yards. Jokes on him though because my rifle stays zeroed and he can’t dodge bullets at 3275 fps even at 150 yards on the run. [ATTACH type="full"]414015[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
