[QUOTE="Hand Skills, post: 1481671, member: 103303"] When accuracy really comes together, it's hard to ignore - be it a high or low node. The lower nodes do tend to be a little wider and are more forgiving in variable conditions, but at the same time it can be hard to give up 150fps... Might be worth trying a different powder? These days I favor slower powders - usually the low node of a slower powder offers more velocity than a quicker powder. Tradeoff being, the upper node is often unreachable. Theoretically this offers a nice compromise, but how many powders is one willing to try? How much of a looney does one have to be to try fix something that isn't broke? It's a great question, and I'm sure many of us have faced the same dilemma. Personally I err on the side of caution and reliability in the field. Incurring an injury could impare my ability to make it home. I try to keep that in mind when out in the woods, and carefully minimize risk where possible. I enjoy pushing the limits from time to time, but remind myself that such persuits are best reserved for closed courses with help standing by. [/QUOTE]
