+++Arrow flight time from 30 to 60 yards isn't all that much different. If my arrow is traveling at a moderate 265 feet per second it doesn't take a genius to figure out it's only in the air another third of a second from 30 to 60 yards. +++

not to be a dick, but thats 265fps where? at the bow? 10 feet away? shoot it through a chrono at 60 yds and then what? as soon as it leaves the rest it is going to begin losing speed.

Also, the speed of sound is , what, like 1,000 fps?there is time to react.

i understand that given the perfect conditions these shots can and are made, but I personally don't take em, i just try to be closer next time. I'm not being a whiner, just did'nt want some folks new to archery think that 40+yds is a chip shot, you know? Sorry, i obviously don't know how to quote, the part inside the +++ is the original, the rest is mine.
