So here goes:

How far will an arrow travel shot at a 45 degree angle at 285fps?

How far will an arrow travel shot at a 45 degree angle at 310fps?

How long will it take an arrow to hit the ground shot straight up at 285 fps? How about 310fps?

Tom

How much does the arrow weigh?

stat,

Living up to your name, eh?

Can't tell ya because the last guy that tried to find out took the arrow right to his noggin'!
And on the others shot a 45 degree angles, I can't tell ya that either because I have yet to find anyone that can run fast enough to keep up with the arrows!

Are we accounting for air resistance, or are we shooting in a vacuum?

Are you planing on attacking a castle?

Rankbull,

It's funny that you should ask. That is why I'm asking. I was watching lord of the rings the other night and was wondering with todays modern compound bows how far could an attacking army be kept at bay.

Nope no wind resistance and lets say the arrow weighs 350 grains.

Tom

Do you have the answers? I'm going to guess

1. 362 yards
2. 372 yards
3. at 285FPSI would say - 8.5 seconds
at 310FPS I would say - 9.2 seconds

You had better have some answers, dagonit!

2526 feet
2988 feet

17.728 seconds
19.28 seconds

Show the math and how you arrived at the distances
