to be exact

RE: Dumb math ??
 

correct. seriously can you not do the math ? its pretty basic or did you just want to make sure you had it right

RE: Dumb math ??
 

if 364 is total arrow weight...you need to first subtract all accesories...insert, nock, bh, veins, wrap, anything on there besides shaft. then use your computer calculator ( or google) to divide the new weight by 24.25. this will give you gpi, grains/inch.

So if it is 364-100 BH-9 nock-13 insert-18 blazers=224 shaft weight

224/24.25= 9.237 gpi. pretty average. but this is just an example, your weights could easily vary.

RE: Dumb math ??
 

That's 364 finished right?

RE: Dumb math ??
 

there are very few shafts available at >15 gpi....that is crazy heavy for a bare shaft. FMJs are pretty heavy shafts, and they are only 11.3 gpi.

Thats what i was thinkin, im guessing it was a loaded arrow, if not then thats gonna be like a chunk of re-bar sailing through the air...

RE: Dumb math ??
 

yeh that's a loaded arrow. I was just being very lazy at the time I got now, thanks!

RE: Dumb math ??
 

Please don't take this too personal, but have you ever watched that show "Smarter Than a Fifth Grader"? I think they learn basic division in the third grade these days. At least you were smart enough to use one of your "cheats".

RE: Dumb math ??
 

:DHaha dude I thought you were a teacher?? Or maybe I am thinking of someone else??

RE: Dumb math ??
 

hey making jokes about som1s intelligents isnt nice, hunters are known as rednecks and rednecks are known to be dumb.

RE: Dumb math ??
 

Seth Seth, you are right; he is a history teacher!! That means
he will always remember the answer to his question as it
will be history then !! J/K

RE: Dumb math ??
 

yeh I am a history teacher and I hate math, even basic math. I knew how to do it, I was lazy and didn't really want to put in the effort...;) now if any of you guys want to discuss the social, economic, and political impact of the development of the 13 colonies and how the agricultural south dominated the market.......and how that led to an even greater impact on the Civil War ....and Reconstruction and eventually the entire nation as a whole, I would be glad to....... I didn't think so.:D

RE: Dumb math ??
 

There was a book that covered that philosophical stuff,I think the title was something like " Pie R squared" but I could be wrong.

RE: Dumb math ??
 

anyone??

RE: Dumb math ??
 

I'm just guessing at this point but I'd bet Jackson wished he'd of been a little more precise with his instructions, Huh .....maybe kill "them" kill allof "them"

RE: Dumb math ??
 

Now but what do you know about the rise and fall of Spain? I think that if the spanish practiced a more domestic policy instead of waging war, spanish armada, and the ottomans they would not have failed. Louis II was a pretty great Absolute ruler dont you think? I cant believe that many people fell for that Divine right crap.

RE: Dumb math ??
 

360, people are still falling for the Madate of Heaven type rule.. look at the mid east all over...Spain got too greedy, (plus they got thehome grown terrorist to worry about), butthat sums it up, as did the British. Abslotue ruler yeh, fear is powerful,effective, maybe, but hey it's like saying Bush is a not a good pres and then saying that he has kept us safe...but that's all he's done, The Otts ,what can I say, they were powerful and long lasting and they took out the Christian influence in that area and redefined the Empire mentality...;) the big question is do we blame the Arabs or the Spanish for slavery?? Who do we hold responsible for the fall of the Roman Empire?? Jesus? Week military?? Or do we sit and ponder if the Brits would havebrought that other hand they had behind their backaround to fight instead of messing with India would we even be having this talk.....:Djust food for thought...:)

RE: Dumb math ??
 

Well we can blame slavery on the age of exploration, if we didnt find the new land we wouldnt of never needed that much slave labor. As you know the spanish and the portuguese were the leading contenders in the age of exploration so I guess we could blame portugal and spain. And make it interesting and throw the pope in there for making the line of demarcation.

RE: Dumb math ??
 

The Pope had entirely too much power for sure....man we could talk for hours!! I like a conversation like this! and yes, the age of exploration in the west is responsbile for it, blame it on the Spaniards!!:D

RE: Dumb math ??
 

lol only know this stuff because i learned it today, ill forget it right after i ace the test :D

RE: Dumb math ??
 

Maybe you two could get a room, then this pillow talk could go on for hours.;)

RE: Dumb math ??
 

your just mad that you would have to use google to find out what im talking about.


PS I find that teachers that hunt have knock off classes, like my basic electric class.

PPS: my school uses a block class system so I have 80 min long classes.

RE: Dumb math ??
 

What do you do for the 80 minutesof English class.;)

RE: Dumb math ??
 

with the 80 mins thing, we have1/2 our classes broken up into 2 symesters, can you guess if i have inglish now or l8tr?

RE: Dumb math ??
 

gave me an idea for a new sig, thanks a bunch

RE: Dumb math ??

RE: Dumb math ??
 

I have a question, whats the difference between the Middle Passage and the Atlantic slave trade?

RE: Dumb math ??
 

Haha dude I thought you were a teacher?? Or maybe I am thinking of someone else??

RE: Dumb math ??
 

360, the Middle Passage was from Africa to North America, the Atlatic slave trade included the West Indies and other areas in the islands as well as North America... Guys I do know how to do long division, I just wanted to see how well yall could do it.....;)
