It all works on time of flight of the bullet to the animal at whatever range. If it take 0.2 seconds for the bullet to get to 300 yards, then how far will an animal making 20 mph go? Answer is 88 ft/sec divided by 3 divided by 5 = 5.8 feet. 88 ft/sec is 60 miles per hour, so 20 mph is 88/3 = 29 ft/sec animal speed divided by 5 for 1/5th of a second time of flight.

BTW aalf -- all that aside THAT WAS A GREAT SHOT!!


I think I'll stick with missing...

Nice shooting aalf. from the tracks in the snow you must be dam fast on that bolt. It looks like he only got about 30 ft from the walking tracks before you cartwheeled him.


They say everything happens for a reason.
For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.
