Ok, here's the deal, the power stroke doesn't matter if you can achieve launch at the exact same velocity. How hard is that to freakin understand, even for you????? Most arrowguns are kicking arrows out at 300+ fps same as most compounds these days. Both the bolts and arrows wiegh about the same. Again, I am going to ask. How does the power stroke increase KE when they wiegh the same, and shoot the same velocity???? You know your looking like a idiot don't ya?
In the real world with real hunting equipment the KE in similar because the xbow is more pounds of weight with a short stroke and the bow has a long stroke with less weight. You know as well as I do the bow has a slight better downrange energy because of this. Also the shorter arrow is harder to steer at the longer range.
No, I don't know. If they both have the exact same drag, wieght and velocity, how is it possible for a bolt to have less energy???? You don't know.
Why is it the speed bows have a short brace. I bet you know...come on. They store more energy because the arrow stays on the string longer.
Goodness gracious your making Kentuckians look bad. I will repeat, if they have the same velocity launched, and same wieght, and same drag, it doesn't freakin matter. If I could miracle an arrow to 350fps with a 6" throw compared to another guys who could get the same arrow to 350fps with an 18" throw, it doesn't freakin matter. Holy cow, please tell me you didn't have kids!!!!
Why is it you only want to tell part of the facts....?? You are too embarrassed to admit I'm 100 % right. Now one again show me how the xbow is so much better at along range over the compound.
I hope it's not too late to get your money back from your engineering class.
Dude, honestly, your not getting it. You said, an arrow gun bolt would have lower KE. Now, you want to try to change it??? Good news here is everyone can see who is the liar.
