ComfyBear, I do like the 'bullsh*t baffles brains' formulae, although I still can't find any resemblance to a final answer. I didn't intend for this "pointless" thread to devolve into a pissing match so let's call it quits, it is getting rather childish, especially for a 56 yr old. ..........

How ungrateful ! The reason I don't is because unless you know and you can state all the variables that exist, there is NO definitive answer. Furthermore, if the truth be know, to quote you, it's a pointless question; hardly worthy of an answer. So if it's a question you must answer for your physic...

There's many factors and variables. that need to be quantified So I'm not going to give you the answer....... Sorry if it's long-winded....... Hope that helps. :wink: ComfyBear, This doesn't help at all. The reason you're not going to give me an answer is because you don't know. I, too, could have ...

Pointless physics question

Someone asked a question the other day and I wondered if there were any engineers on this forum that could answer with the appropriate physics equation. How high would an arrow (bolt) go if fired straight up in the air from a crossbow? (Let's say an Exomax, for the most extreme example, and you can ...

A couple of months ago I went across the border and into 'Dicks' at Walden Galleria. I bought my Summit Viper for $169.00. It was about half the price of any Canadian 'box store' prices. It is the steel version (26lbs) so it is about 6lbs heavier than the aluminum version, but I could use the exerci...

A coworker told me he was going to get a High Powered Riflescope for his ExoMax because most of the deer he sees are over 75 yards away!

I tried to explain bolt trajectory (and ethics) but he insisted on getting one. Hmmmm!

Been shooting them since I was a kid. I remember carrying my . 177 thru town when nobody batted an eye! We used to hold the lead pellets in our cheeks while plinking (not kidding!) My air gun was probably my favourite childhood 'toy'. I still have an old Benjamin/Sheridan .22. It has a beautiful nic...

I read 'Crossbow Hunting'. It is pretty decent with lots of 'Excalibur' info/pics. I recently picked up 'Canadian Whitetail Hunting' by Dragan Vujic. I could do without the silly cover photo, but it it looks well written. I've flicked through it but will wait till buck season to study it properly. I...

I don't often watch Red Green (although I've met Steve several times as we lived in the same area!) but..., A Filson hat might fit the bill. I have an 'Original Shelter Hat' in green and an 'Original Packer Hat' in tan tin cloth. They are great hats and indestructible. (the 12oz tin cloth is real th...

DIY cheap target

Shortly after purchasing my Exocet 200 I enquired here about a cheap target as I was determined to not pay $50+ for a hunk of foam. A couple of weeks ago I got a box of big, green garbage can bags, unfolded them flat and then stuffed them in an oversized pillow case (hope wife doesn't miss it!) I cr...

I 'challenged the test' after taking a 12 yr lapse from hunting. I borrowed the book and ended up getting 100% on both the written and practical tests. I also got 100% on both the restricted (handgun) tests. What I'm trying to say is that the tests are not hard. I did read the book thoroughly and ha...
