easy speed test

Found an easy way to measure arrow speed without a crono.
Their is an audio measuring thingy called AUDACITY that can be downloaded for free. You can measure the time between the sound of your bow shooting and the sound of your arrow impacting the target in milliseconds. Then you can divide that number into the distance you are standing from your target in feet.
Obviously a laptop would be the way to go with this. Place it about mid way between the target and your shooting position.
I did it in my basement at a distance of 33ft. It was very accurate.
Kinda fun... I get board in the winter.

 

There's an app called AChrono. It's a chrono app for your bow

App Shopper: AChrono (Sports)

 

I still want a crono but that's cool

 

I'm going to try this out. Is it consistent?

It seemed to be from what I saw. Got me in the ballpark anyway

 

How does that app work Fitz? Accurate?

 

I've got it too....it goes off of sound. You have a window of time to shoot in, then it measures sound waves from your bow to the arrow hitting the target.

 

Here's a pretty good tutorial.
