I said I understood BC in post #20. BC doesn't account for drag imposed by any number of fletching variations. Fletching drag will bring an arrow down a lot faster than any difference in BC for a 20 inch arrow vs a 30 inch arrow. Any comment that a crossbow arrow cannot maintain airspeed as well as an archery arrow
is just plain looking for an excuse to argue a point that really doesn't apply to archery like it applies to long range rifle ballistics.
