If you look at the Darton something or other thread a guy shot 3 different arrows and there was a much greater difference in speed than your calculating.
Well fer cryin' out loud, nodog!Go get a cup of coffee or something and rouse your wits. Your brain ain't workin' right.
I'm comparing arrows that are only 100 grains differentin weightwith a 30 fps difference. His testing is with arrows have a 187 grains difference from heaviest to lightestwith roughly a 56 fps difference between the two.
I calculate roughly 3 fps per every 10 grains of arrow weight. His results average 2.97 fps per every 10 grains of arrow weight. Therefore, my friend, his chronograph readings are
perfectly consistent with my calculations.
If you want a debate, you can take me to task over my refusal to consider anything below 400 grains of arrow weight to be a good hunting arrow. You can't argue with my calculations. Sorry.
Ya got me there Arthur!
I won't forget the lesson.
