I know all of you guys have hit this link before but I was looking at his 110 yard groups using " Tungston " arrows and am truly amazed rest or not.
How much arrow drop would you get ( ball Park ) at those sort of distances. Must look like an incomingartillary..Makes me feel likehalf a man limiting myself to 30 yards and can't beleive you could really hunt at anywhere near that distance.

I plan on moving back some day just for fun. I figure I can turn my speed ring down all the way which will raise my POI and then just do some good hold over after that. I drop about ten inches from twenty to forty, found that out by accident yesterday. So I would bet at 100 yards it would be maybe three to four feet with just a guess.

Hunting is like Marriage, you get out of it what you put in it. Sometimes you score and sometimes you don't, but its always fun going out!
Long range target shooting w/ xbows is a bigger deal in Europe than the USA. I believe one of the reasons is the lack of being able to hunt w/ one in a lot of countries over there. Matthias72 does alot of testing and reports results on his web site that Planter linked.
There was a test done and results published in a back issue of HBM, at 100 yds, the mid range trajectory of an Emax is between 22-25 FEET! I lose arrows fast enough at closer hunting ranges, lol.
when i used to shoot nfaa tournaments we had to shoot 80 yds. was a lot of fun. you had time to stand there and admire the shot while it was on the way. hehe.[8D]

John, Matthias got his groups from three inches to an inch and a half using Boo strings! I also know someone that uses them in England to whack large rabbits a hundred yards.

I haven't shot in 5 days now. Mrs. has had more honey do's than i can keep up with. Then i have to do them in the morning as its too hot out there after noon!
What is the matter with you folks, we have a hard enough time to convince people to pass XXXXbows in certain states==we tell them its ashort distance weapon and the you guys come out with this. Pm each other, do'nt let the whole world know what your doing- Please. Rich
110 Yards?? Wow
