** Just to be clear - this is where your arrow will hit, if you hold on the bullseye at X yards, while using your 20 yard mark. **
As the speed debate will continue through 2008 and onward, I figured I'd sketch out a chart, just to show you guys what speed will really get you, from a yardage estimation perspective.
There's no doubt that the faster your arrow is moving, the more fudge factor you have in estimating the range.
I just figured this might be helpful for a few of you guys talking about buying new hunting bows for '08 - especially with all the new, fast bows and ultralight arrows hitting the market.
