The line from our nocking point.......to the "spot" at 20yds would be another straight line.

If you drew a perpendicular line from the center line of an imaginary circle directly to a theoretical sharp corner would the difference be greater than or equal to the foc of a binary equation?
This is one of those questions I just can seem to find a logical answer to.Any help would be much appreciated.
If it make a difference to your answer. You are on the down wind side of a white oak tree seventeen and one half feet from the ground in a summit viper using non mechanical broad headsthis is on aThursday evening after a Monday new moon hunting public land.

My question is.....we're compensating for the line of the arrow (it would seem, to me) by the line through the peep, 20yd pin and target (at 20yds) pointing in a downward line.
So.....would THAT (alone) compensate for the arrow NOT having to be in a straight line to the target? I'm simply asking.

If you held your arrow perfectly level and released it, it would never rise, only drop. (assuming your nock point is level and your bow has perfectly horizontal nock travel).
When you are aiming at targets at a distance, of course you have to aim higher to compensate for gravity. In that case, the arrow does initially rise. But thats only because you are pointing it slightly skyward.

Hey look its my Nova! I feel so special.

Notice the arrow path. It will cross the line of sight initially close, then will once again cross further out due to trajectory. There really isn't a trad/compound line in the dirt drawn on this concept.
I probably got the question wrong though.

Yesalong with air resistance.
The arrow is shot up to compensate for gravity.

Air resistance has no effect on the FLIGHT PATH of the arrow...only the speed. Imagine a world with air, but no gravity. Your arrow would slow down, but never fall.

RE: Compound bow - set up question
Using Matt/PA's example......of the arrow line and the sight line meeting at 8yds (+/-....it really makes no difference where these lines meet....as long as we agree they DO "meet" at a relatively short distance.....prior to 20yds)........It would seem, to me, that the lines intersect at 8yds (naturally
).
My question, again.....is...is the line thorugh the nocking point....the arrow tip....and the target at 20yds a straight, levelline.....and "compensation" made by the arrow drop beyond the 8yd intersection point?
Again....it would seem, to me, that the line from the eye.....through the peep.......through the 20 yd pin.....to the spot at 20yds.....HAS to be "straight".
