[QUOTE="Rod Snell, post: 842685, member: 796"] The trajectory of any arrow (or bullet) is a parabola (square function). At 20 yds, the arrow drop is 4 times that at 10 yds. At 40 yds, the drop is 16 times that at 10 yds. Shooting at long range (over 40 yds) is possible at [B]know distances[/B] in field archery, but a slight error in distance estimate causes a miss, or worse yet, a bad hit on a deer. The other problem is that a deer can hear the bowstring and move before the arrow arrives, causing bad hits. Although hitting a paper plate at a known 50yds is no great trick, I have never shot at a deer beyond 30 yards with a bow. [/QUOTE]
