Me and my brother were arguing about what determines how far and arrow will shoot. I said it depends on your draw length granted that you are shooting the right arrow. He thought it was the weight you pull back. Who's right? Is it a combination of both? Neither?
You are both right.A longer draw length will always produce faster arrow speeds using the same weight arrow.Also,a heavier draw weight will produce a faster arrow.A faster arrow out of the bow should shoot farther but a heavier arrow will maintain its speed longer than a lighter arrow.There are many more factors to consider than draw weight and draw length when determining how far an arrow will travel but to answer your question a longer draw length and a heavier draw weight will both increase the distance an arrow will travel.I 'm not sure which one would affect it more.

Physics my friend. This is an interesting site, well for a math geek like me it's interesting lol. It's titled Steep Angle Shots but there is a nice little explanation of arrow flight in it. Making Sense of Steep Angle Shots
