I thought I'd share this one with y'all This is a scetch of the 80yard walkup target on the "Red" Texas State Championship range in BuffaloGap, outside of Abilene. I hope you can tell? We shot along the edge of a bluff shooting down to the target. It's one of the toughest targets in the state of Texas. Especially if you haven't shot it before. The 80yd stake is 30ft above the target and usually shot for around 75-76yards The 50yd stake is 60ft above the target and usually shot for 41-43yards. | |||

Dave, Your still not getting the point. Your distance Theory has nothing to do w/ Gravity. You are forgetting about the Laws of Physics and the variations in gravity's effects at different angles. I think you should just find someone who has a bow that shoots about 200-220 fps w/ a 500-600 grain arrow and sight it in at 20 yards then, climb 25-30 feet up in a tree and shoot at the same distance. That is the only way I know to prove to you the point. I have an old bow that shoots 6 inches high when doing the above experiment but, I have a new faster bow that only shoots 2-3 inches high. The "Proof is in the Puddin'" Please, don't try telling someone who has a slower bow that thier bow will shoot the same from a high treestand. If you tell em' that , they are gonna miss quite a few shots before they find out whats going on. Once again, Why do you think they invented Pendelum sights? Good Luck! Reloader | |||

It called the "Gravitational Constant" for a good reason ... it is. Till you get down to Quantum levels but we don't shoot there. True that if you shoot a bullet or arrow parallel to the ground and drop one straight down, they will hit the ground at the same time | |||
