My dad dear hunts with both and competed when he was younger.The ranges at most comp's was 20, 30, 40 and 50. As for arrow speed that varies a LOT and I mean a hell of a lot on a wide number of things. From arrow, weight, to draw length of the bow, length of the arrow, draw str ect.But yes the top modern bows can shot at a speed of over 70 yards per sec, in archey they messure it in fps aka feet per second and the top ones hit just over 300. Now they rapidly lose their speed in flight though. So just because when the arrow is first shot it is going that fast doesn't mean much on how fast it will be traveling in only 20 yards which is a lot slower.To be fair I learned most of this from asking my dad so many questions he wanted to kill me about archery. I mean a ready real world source to help make my games better, who wouldn't badger the poor man to death?</blockquote>
