TFOX,I see sort of what you're getting at, but you clearly have no phsyics background.
Good one!
You guys crack me up. No one told you to rush out and buy one. No one told you it would be needed in 99% of treestand situations. All we said was, IF you are buying new, why the hell would you NOT buy one with this...seeing as the prices are right in line with nonArc models? If you are buying a new car, and the dealer desides to throw in 5 years of XM radio for free, are you goin to say nahhh, thats over rated. I want one without it.[&:]
And excalibur, YES steep angles DO make more of a difference? I don't see what is so hard for people to understand about this. 40 yards ranged at a 45* angle, would give you a much shorter shot than a 40 yard ranged at a 10* angle....make sense?
LOL, I have made this shot countless times from my target stand ( Platform in my tree) in my backyard. I can shoot it from my stand, come down to the ground and shoot it again with the same pin, with the same results.I do understand what you are saying, but from what I have found out by practicing from different heights, is that, I could not encounter an angle steep enough to make a real difference. I'm not saying that that doesn't happen in some hunting situations, but here in Ohio, I usually hunt from about 18-22 feet in my stand, and the " Arc" just doesn't come into play in this situation.
