for kicks i figured out that sound will travel 30 yds in .08 hundreths of a second. depending on a speed of 300-350fps, the sound of the shot will reach an animal .18 to .22 hundreths of a second before the arrow does which basically means at 30yds, an animal has about 2 tenths of a second to clear ...
