MAN,where did I get 4" from?

Anyway,the scenario is still possible(atleast close),as joe has shown,with an exceptionally fast bow.There would be a little more rise in the arch at 18 yards.probably 4".[8D]

Sorry,I must have read something into it somewhere else.

The original post is feasable except for the dead on at 0.The bow will be a couple inches low at the bow due to the sight paralax(line of sight above arrow) and then if the bow is zeroed from 25-28 yards,the trajectory would allow it to be just about what he said,especially if it isa reasonably fast bows,even a slower bow can be pretty close to it.
No way.The scenario you describe would have the max distance abovex=0 to be 2 inches. Not gonna happen.

Do you have any understanding of what sight paralax is?

Here is a clue,I gave you a description of what it is on a bow.
Heck with it...I had a long response typed, but it ain't worth it. Nope, I have no clue.

The description of the arrow ballistics you have is exactly how it would happen.

Read above post,I missed something somewhere or read another post and got it confused with this one.

But the arrow does hit low at the bow.[8D]


I know where I got it now,the name of this thread was where I got it,then I just skimmed over the original post .

Of course the arrow starts low...
