Been reading How To Train In Archery by Maurice & Will Thompson. Interesting little book. Covers shooting the York Round.
However; I came across something that confuses my simple little brain. It is stated; “If the point of an arrow gets truncated by striking a stone or other hard substance, it’s trajectory will probably be lower than before, but it will rebound from the target. Nothing is better settled than that a truncated missile will fly further than a sharp pointed one. ”
I had to look up ‘truncated’. Means flattened out on the end. So ………………….. is Mr. Thompson implying that 125 grain 11/32nd blunts will fly flatter & further than 125 grain 11/32nd field tips on matching arrows ???? Doesn’t seem right what with air resistance and all of that but after finding out that straight or helical fletch both will shoot the same maximum distance, now I’m open to anything.
Thanx !!!!
