After thought.. people with short draw lengths (27" and below) and lower end peak weights (55lbs and less) could push the bottom mass weight between target and hunting a bit lower than I posted.

Comes back to the importance of a well placed shot.

The only thing that ever interested me about gaining speed with a bow was
to be able to remove one of my site pins and go from 4 pins down to 3.
Less arrow drop comp. Less to think about.

Would not help at all with left or right variables but would lessen the effects
of vertical yardage guess.

And vertical drop magnifies as you move out more so than
left to right, at a faster rate.

So I thought out of the two directions horizontal vs vertical, the speed tech.
was moving in the right direction for bows, at least for hunting bows anyway.

Speed bows in my mind should help lessen the human error in yardage guest-amation, because the arrow drops less at longer ranges.

But the speed bow still needs to sling an arrow with mass to punch thru when
it hits.
