This was done with my ILF Hunting Recurve:
JC Optimus 21" Riser
TradTech Carbon/Wood Limbs
64" Overall Length
69.5# @ my 29.5" Draw Length
`````````````
Arrows:
Widowmaker Smash .300's
BOP Length 31"
175gr Bishop Archery Right Single Bevel Broadheads
Total Weight 640 grains
9.2 GPP
FOC 14.4%
4 X 4" Marco Soft Vanes Fletch Right Helical
Average Speed 208 FPS
`````````````
Conditions:
72 degrees / 15mph wind gusting to 25mph / Humidity 53%
`````````````
Into The Wind:
318
302
298
297
294
Average - 301.8
`````````````
With The Wind
319
316
296
294
293
Average - 303.6
`````````````
The distances are an average between the GPS readings, and a range finder.
Likely not dead nutz accurate, but I bet +/- one yard would be very close.
I was really surprised the wind made so little difference,
but I'll be doing this again on a day with better conditions.
I was guesstimating the angle of the shots to 45 degrees.
I was a little disappointed with my shooting, and how much I varied the distances on each round, but in that wind I guess it wasn't to bad.
