Default Get out your calculators!

Utterly bored out of my mind at work so I wanna quiz you all who want to be quized.

If my bow shoots 252fps, how fast is that in mph?

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!
