Arrow Trajectory Calculator?

[rivercityjeff]

Looking for a free arrow trajectory calculator for know velocity and arrow weight. Online, Excel, or iPhone app would be helpful.

The attached chart is a good start but, lacking.

This is Mark, I run BestCrossbowSource. I noticed traffic coming in from this website to mine and figured I'd pop in to see what's up, when I saw your post. I took your words about our chart "lacking" to heart and asked my programmer to reach out to another fellow hunter, who happens to run his own website and has created a certain calculator over 16 years ago which might be helpful to you. We asked for permission to obtain the code and built upon it / modified it using information from the classic Exterior Ballistics of Bows And Arrows paper by W.J. Rheingans (Google for it if interested).

The result is the following on-site calculator, which I just posted onto the site a few minutes ago: bestcrossbowsource . com / crossbow-arrow-ballistics-calculator (I hope it's OK for me to post the link despite being a new member - you will need to remove the spaces within the link for it to work).

I hope you find it a little more useful than the original chart you linked to, and I plan on including a function that will map the results of the calculator's results onto a graph, for easier viewing.

If you have any comments or requests for functions, please let me know and I'll see what we can do.

Thanks,
Mark

The Hawke BRC2 calculator works for me on my Mac and iPhone.
