Default RE: Velocity of Arrow Vs Speed of Sound

The point is......a chrono'd 270fps is about 2' in front of the bow.

Put the chrono now at 20yds and measure that speed.

Put it at 30yds and do the same.

Put it at 40yds and do the same.

NOW crunch THOSE numbers.

I ask these questions to find out for myself if the below IS true.....

So the longer the shot, less time to react.
You ARE speaking in fractions of a second in regards to reaction time.

but when you are speaking of fractions of a second
