Avoiding sound for impact
https://oodmag.com/avoiding-sound-for-impact/
The sound of a bow will reach an animal before the arrow. Here are four ways to reduce those shakes and the noise created by your bow.
What can I but enumerate old themes,
First that sea-rider Oisin led by the nose
Through three enchanted islands, allegorical dreams,
Vain gaiety, vain battle, vain repose,
Themes of the embittered heart, or so it seems.
-- "The Circus Animals’ Desertion" by William Butler Yeats

A deer's reaction time is about 0.12 seconds. You need to get the arrow to the deer in less than 0.12 seconds slower than sound.
See the chart below for how to do this.
Two things that you can do that will make a big difference are:
- keep the distance short; and
- shoot the fastest arrow that you can.
I'm not sure how effective trying to shoot "quietly" is, giving a deer's hearing capabilities.
