Default Re: Physics problem

Mariolover, sorry but you're talking crap. I've asked some people (much older than you, IF that matters) that KNOW their physics.

When shooting 1 arrow, you ARE utilizing all the energy of the bow.

Look at it this way: if what you say is true, why wouldn't the arrows be heavier?? Huh? If with heavier arrows you utilize more energy and thus have more power/damage, why would you use lighter ones?
Of why even make the bow so strong so when you're not using all the energy?? That would be just a waist of arm-energy.

Or look at it this way: if you wouldn't utilize all of the strength of the bow, why put all your power into the bow? Why not shoot it at 1/3 of full power, if it doesn't matter?? (ok perhaps this doesn't make as much sense as the other example.)

By the way I don't think you've explained why you're not utilizing all the strength?
If you're talking about a max speed of the arrow, that's just not true. Especially not when you're talking about short distance.

Try to prove me wrong instead of coming up with simple statements.
