RE: See fletchings at impact....HONESTLY
JM.....I'm not trying to prove anybody wrong. Is it Ok to simply need to know WHY things are the way people say they "are"?
If someone can explain it to me.....I'll say "thanks" and move on.
If you shoot an arrow straight down......will it experience this "arc" mobo speaks of? Why would it? If it doesn't.....I'm simply stating that the arc is SEVERELY reduced as the angle of downward is increased. Is this correct?

I cant say I ever see the arrow but I always seem to see the entry hole. Sometimes you can try to hard old buddy. Just go out there and have fun.

I will say, ACC's seem harder to see than any arrow I've ever used.
I also glass an animal all but immediately if opportunity is there.

The arrow goes above, and then below, your actual line of sight. The arrow isn't TRULY flying a flat line, straight away from your vision.

GMMAT,here is the actuall trajectory of my bow,it is in the 255 fps range.
And here is the actuall drop of the arrow when the bow isn't pointing upward,shot parralel to the ground.Of course,the pins compensate for this and give us the above trajectory.

ok, seeing every shot in the yard is completely different then seeing it in the woods at an animal. I've not seen a couple deer get hit and it happened to a buddy of mine this year too. there's many things that could make it harder to see during an actual hunt - adrenalin
, low light, clutter in the woods, background that matches your fletchings especially this time of year, etc.
it happens!

If you drop a baseball out of your tree it will fall straight, if you throw it at a tree thats 25 yards away it will arc up and then down. A arrow when shot straight down or away will react the same way. Though with bows shooting as fast as they do now a days its not as noticeable. If you did have a shot that was exactly straight down, it would help to know which of your pins shoots like a 1 yard pin.
