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?

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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

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) |

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

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.
