RE: Arrow Speed, Misjudged Yardage & Ethics

Big Country,good test.Seems to be showing that there is going to be rise and fall with any setup regardless of speed.There will be a difference but even at 45 yards there is a small difference.Less than 1" with the first 2 and there poundage plays a big role.The 3rd was using a heavier arrow and a lighter poundage.It was less than 3" lower than the absolute fastest bow.Match the poundage of the last bow and the results get even closer.The reason I say that is because most of the people out there only have 1 bow and try to get speed with a lighter arrow and it really doesn't help trajectory that much when you do that.

Yes, Big Country's tests do bring reality to light. Faster doesn't get you much and losing the weight of the arrow is the consequence.
Remember, it's Feet Per Second and rarely is an arrow in flight for a full second....but a fraction of that....a couple fps or even several fps is all but nullified.
