I shoot with 1 pin under 30 yds. I could put another one on but I never shoot over 30 yds where I hunt. I am just a target shooter behind the house and am confident with anything in that range in the woods.

Nope.. And they all fit in just a hair over 1 1/2" of space in the sight... I have a closet desire to get into comp shooting... I need to be able to reach out there.... Plus its just fun to take looooong target shots to see if i can group and its a heck of a challenge

6 pins are you kidding me?

300fps is about 80yd shot mph..... I get about 290 out of my Browning Boss Mantis and ICS 340s with 100gr tips and i regularly practice to 75yds...

My pins are set at
1- 20
2- 30
3- 40
4- 50
5- 60
6- 75

I will take a deer shot up to 60 but thats on a very calm deer with background noise (train or bluejay)

who knows my brain hurts, all I know is 300 fps is pretty good and will do the job!

John I just saw your post where you found the 204 was correct. You are better at finding info than me but you are still wrong

Re: ? about arrow speed....

feeds@yuku.com (Troy9) — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 08:15:06 GMT

John I think your wrong. Now you got me thinking and I want to find out what the MPH could be. I think an arrow could travel that fast but I could be wrong. And that would be the 1st time I was wrong

Re: ? about arrow speed....

feeds@yuku.com (john4me05) — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 08:14:27 GMT

But judging by this the 204 is correct

Yeah gimme a break... Just had my knee scoped and Tylox isnt the best pay attention medicine...

Ok.. 300 FPS would take 17.6 seconds to cover 5280 feet which is a mile...
There is 3600 seconds in 1 hour
Dividing 17.6 into 3600 gives you 204.54545454545454545454
But there aint no way a arrow goes that fast...

So your correct formula is............................ hahahahahha I dunno

well, im not sure, lol.

Re: ? about arrow speed....

feeds@yuku.com (Troy9) — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 12:31:48 GMT

John that forumla is for Feet Per Second and that arrow would be going a heck of alot faster that 17 MPH. Your drinking to much cough syrup again

Jdeller how did you determine the mph at 200? Was curious

Re: ? about arrow speed....

feeds@yuku.com (jdeller) — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 11:37:21 GMT

well, I think I got it. I came up with 204.545 mph

Re: ? about arrow speed....

feeds@yuku.com (john4me05) — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 11:10:07 GMT

If you ever want to know it in the future divide your fps into 5280

Looks like this on a calc
5280 (divide button) speed in fps = answer
You can internet search for a online calculator and they are available

hummm, I dont think so, I think my arrow is going a lil faster, it can travel 300 feet in one sec.

Re: ? about arrow speed....

feeds@yuku.com (john4me05) — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 11:07:26 GMT

Break it down..
5280 feet in 1 mile.... 300 feet in 1 second... 300 divides into 5280 17.6 times so your speed would be 17.6mph

Just a thought about my new bow I got, lets say my arrow travels at 300 ft. a sec. What would the mph be? Anyone?
