    KE = (arrow weight / 450240) x (velocity x velocity)

    Awesome.
    Now I need to find the "real" weight of my arrows.
    And velocity. :(

    I don't know any of that stuff.
    I ahven't gotten into that since back in the day.
    I know my bow was at 65 LBS, draw weight, and 29 inches of draw, and my arrows are 2314's or 2413's. Cant remeber now, lol.
    Guess I should know this, but Don't.

    I just tried looking this up on wikipedia... :d
    Dudes,
    I failed Algaebra.:bash: Unless I am dealing with ingredients in cooking. Math is not my deal, well, not when they start throwing in letters anyway. I can do simple math in my head. But, letters do not belong in math! That is why they have English classes, and Math classes. Why make things complicated???:confused:
    You guys don't want to hear my theory on weights and measurements. I made my instructor in cooks school hate me. lol.
