Wild Willie Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I'm looking to collect some data regarding arrow trajectory and I'm hoping a few die hard FM archers would like to participate:1) Setup target at exactly 20 yards on level ground. Indoor or outdoor as long as wind does not enter into the equation. Your bow and pins must be previously sited-in at 20, 30, 40 and (50 yards if you shoot a five pin set-up.)2) Place vertical line and horizontal line on target (X should be very low on block targets)3) Shoot at least 6 arrows at horizontal line with your 20 yard pin to ensure you're spot on4) Shoot at least 6 arrows at horizontal line with 30 yard pin and take average measurement on vertical line from X5) Shoot at least 6 arrows at horizontal line with 40 yard pin and take average measurement on vertical line from X6) Shoot at least 6 arrows at horizontal line with 50 yard pin and take average measurement on vertical line from XPost results with bow type, bow brand, poundage, draw length, arrow type: aluminum or carbon, arrow weight, (include field tip weight, fletching and nock), arrow length, vane style and arrow speed if you can get it. I understand there are many more variables involved, but what is listed above should provide enough input for my physics exercise/experiment.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wild Willie Posted November 29, 2008 Author Share Posted November 29, 2008 Okay - went out today and shot my Parker at my block at 20 yards and here are the results:1) My 20 yard pin was dead on the horizontal line2) My 30 yard pin arrows on average hit 6" above the horizontal line3) My 40 yard pin arrows on average hit 11" above the horizontal line4) My 50 yard pin arrows on average hit 18.25" above the horizontal line5) Parker Wildfire XP Bow, 60 lbs, Draw length 29", Beman ICS Hunter 340 carbon arrow, 75 grain field tip, arrow length 30.5", don't know total arrow weight, don't know arrow speed, FOC 8.898% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
