RE: Get out your calculators!
You know i have noticed a couple things while being on here..
ONE- we get way to board in the off season...lol TWO- we have to much time at work.... THREE- now i realize why my wife says get a life... Four- only a bow hunter would come up with a question like that.. and FIVE- only a bunch of simlar bored bow hunters would answer it.. LMAO... I LOVE THIS SPORT!!!!!!!! |
RE: Get out your calculators!
Mach .22334
[8D] |
RE: Get out your calculators!
OK now give me that at 20 yards considering every foot the arrow travels away from the bow it's losinghalf apercent of its previous velocity.
. . . with a steady head wind of 18mph . . . on a 70 degree day . . . at 63% humidity . . . facing south/southeast . . . on a Tuesday afternoon . . . Let's see you figure that out smarties! ;);) |
RE: Get out your calculators!
What moon phase? Any special planetary alignments? And do we have to allow for the Coriolis Force also? ;)
|
RE: Get out your calculators!
i would have to say that th last question that you asked would confirm my first post!!! lol
and where did mach.22334 come from LMAO!! |

ORIGINAL: Arthur P What moon phase? Any special planetary alignments? And do we have to allow for the Coriolis Force also? ;) no special planetary alignment(that would make this much too difficult so... just calculate on an assumed neutral affect planetary alignment) yes, allow for the Coriolis Force considering you are in the northern hemisphere at 40 degrees latitude and 93 degrees longitude |
RE: Get out your calculators!
Okay, now I'm officially screwed. ;)Gotta wait for someone smarter than me.[&:]

RE: Get out your calculators!
Not fast enough to kill a string jumping deer at 40 yards

RE: Get out your calculators!
This is the type of thread that I enjoy reading.Funny stuff. It gives me an excuse to pull out the calculator and make it look like I'm working.

RE: Get out your calculators!
Will need to know the arrow size and b-head to be able to figure in the drag resistance. Also, if vanes or feathers are used before an accurate number can be achieved. But with all that said, not sure if I am interested in scratching my head that much today![&:]

RE: Get out your calculators!
Also must include the altitude of the shooter in relation to sea level.

RE: Get out your calculators!
Oh yeah, the Coriolis Affect. Since they said it was in the northern hemisphere, the arrow would want to deviate to the right of wind direction. Vice-versa for the southern hemisphere. :D
