Use the Archery Calculator to determine your archery performance metrics such as kinetic energy, draw weight, and arrow speed.
Archery Calculation Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the kinetic energy of an arrow:
Kinetic Energy = (Arrow Weight * Arrow Speed^2) / 450240
Variables:
- Kinetic Energy is the energy of the arrow in flight (ft-lbs)
- Arrow Weight is the mass of the arrow (grains)
- Arrow Speed is the velocity of the arrow (fps)
To calculate the kinetic energy, multiply the arrow weight by the square of the arrow speed and divide the result by 450240.
What is Archery Calculation?
Archery calculation refers to the process of determining various performance metrics of your archery setup, including kinetic energy, draw weight, arrow speed, and bow efficiency. These calculations help archers optimize their equipment and improve their shooting accuracy and power.
How to Calculate Kinetic Energy?
The following steps outline how to calculate the kinetic energy of an arrow using the given formula:
- First, determine the draw weight of your bow and the weight of your arrow.
- Next, measure the speed of the arrow using a chronograph.
- Use the formula: Kinetic Energy = (Arrow Weight
