Arrow Drop Calculator

Approximate drop relative to your zero distance (no drag model).

Relative Drop: 0.00 in
Drop = 0.5 x g x t^2 where t = distance / speed, output as relative drop vs zero.

After estimating drop, compare with real sight marks and use momentum plus speed tools for complete trajectory planning.

FOC Guide

FOC influences flight behavior and can affect perceived drop patterns in broadhead setups. Use a stable FOC baseline before fine-adjusting sight tape and distance marks.

FAQ

Is this an exact ballistic engine?

No. This is a gravity-first model meant for planning and comparison.

Why is real drop sometimes different?

Drag, tune quality, wind, and launch consistency all affect real trajectory.

What should I do after getting a drop estimate?

Validate each distance with real arrows and update your sight tape from confirmed impacts.

Arrow Calculator

This page supports archery physics decisions with arrow velocity in feet per second (fps), draw weight, draw length, IBO assumptions, and spine deflection context. Use these values together to compare realistic compound bow, recurve, and crossbow setup outcomes.
