ORIGINAL: Centaur 1
Somebody posted here recently how he chronoed his arrows at longer distances. I was suprised to learn that arrows don't slow very much, but it's the pull of gravity accelerating the arrow towards the ground the longer it's in flight that causes the arrow to drop considerably at longer distances. Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong but I think that's what I learned. If the speed is still there it should penetrate just as deep. I guess that I should have taken physics in high school.[&:]
I made the post about my speeds. The arrow was still at over 270 fps at 50 yds which is plenty fast enough with a 420 grain arrow for just about any animal. The issue with a shot that far is more with the animal moving by the time the arrow gets there then having the energy/momentum/penetration to kill the animal.
