Can you calculate K.E at any given distance. I know what K.E. I have right out of the bow. But how much do I have at 40-50-60 yds etc.... Just curious.

VE6WTF · 07-19-2007, 03:34 PM

I could do it on my graphing calculator.

VE6WTF · 07-19-2007, 03:35 PM

All you need is a formula. and algebra

BowhuntnHoosier · 07-19-2007, 05:24 PM

Hey where is Michael, I think something about his socks and he could figure it out.

Hook Em · 07-19-2007, 06:04 PM

alls you need to know is how heavy it is and how fast it is going...so shoot through the chrono from 50 (might want to put something in front of it first though just in case you are low)

poorman · 07-19-2007, 06:06 PM

I dont think I want to take a chance at shooting through a chrono at fifty yards.

I think if you do a search in google you'll find a few websites that give you what you are looking for.

It hits the spot at fifty and not the chrono.

But that was funny poorman.

OK, the socks are off, but I need some more information.

Give me your bow specs, the arrow specs, and your chronographed speed.

Don't take too long, my feet will get cold

Oh yeah! Can somebody delete that math help thread?

Bow - 07 Tribute
Draw weight - 65#
Draw length - 28.5"
Arrow length - 28"
Arrow weight - 371 grain total
Fletching - 3 - 2" blazers

Hopefully your feet are warmed back up

Michael396 · 07-20-2007, 07:54 AM

Velocity KE

0= 291 69.63
10 285.65 67.15
15 283.06 65.94
20 280.51 64.76
25 277.97 63.59
30 275.46 62.45
35 272.97 61.32
40 270.50 60.22
45 268.06 59.13
50 265.63 58.07
55 263.23 57.03
60 260.85 56.00

You did not give me your arrow specs or a starting velocity, so I had to make a few assumptions to arrive at a starting point. I hope this is what you are looking for.

Michael

poorman · 07-20-2007, 08:26 AM

Thats what I was looking for. Thank you. The 0 point is correct so I assume that all will be.

Michael396 · 07-20-2007, 08:33 AM

Yes, If the starting point is correct, then the rest is correct too.

Yep, thats exactly what I got with my toes again

Michael396 · 07-20-2007, 10:28 AM

I must say, you have very accurate toes

Yep, I knew you were the sockless man for the job.

And nobody touches the math help thread.
