At extreme distances one must also begin to consider how long the arrow takes to get there. At 100 yards an average weight arrow from a modern compound would take a full second. that's a fair amount f time for a deer to move, especially as the sound of the string will get there a full 0.8 second before the arrow.

I would think at 100 yds the travel time would be longer than 1 second for sure. Anybody confirm, with say an average bow of 280fps and average arrow weight.
