While we have to have some amount of weight so that the object doesn’t stop travelling through the air, there’s a balance. The heavier the bolt (usually measured in grains just like arrows), the more drag it’s going to have going through the air.Įvery millimeter that the bolt travels will be that many grains harder, and it adds up quickly. Because the FPS is affected by so many things, you can’t really say “This crossbow had bad FPS” without first making sure every other working part is top-notch. Heavy bolts may mess with your draw weight, but a bad string can also hinder your FPS. Your FPS and draw weight work together, or they hinder each other. We’ll talk more about bolts in a minute, though. The difficult thing is that you can’t perfectly dictate FPS because it depends on the crossbow itself, but it also depends on the ammunition. This stands for feet per second, which is basically how fast your bolt is travelling from the crossbow. That’s just one way that we measure a crossbow’s power, because without draw weight, you can’t get past a certain FPS. You need a certain draw weight to even hunt with a crossbow in the first place, because beneath a certain threshold, it will just harm or maim an animal instead of killing it. The higher the draw weight, the more pressure holds back the bolt, which can result in better FPS, or frames per second. They’re usually separated by draw weight because it equates to a form of power. Draw Weightĭraw weight is something you’ll notice when you buy a crossbow. The only real exception to this would be shooting from a treestand, because the distance is so short and it doesn’t react the same way that a hilltop or major height difference will. You’ll have the high ground more often than not during hunting. An anabatic wind often attains a velocity of 3–5 metres per second (7–11 miles per hour).” More air rises from below to replace it, producing a wind. This warming decreases the density of the air, causing it to rise. During the day, the Sun heats such a slope (and the air over it) faster than it does the adjacent atmosphere over a valley or a plain at the same altitude. “Anabatic wind, also called upslope wind, local air current that blows up a hill or mountain slope facing the Sun. By the Encyclopedia Britannica’s definition, anabatic wind is: In hunting, the ideal position is to get height on your prey, which is when you run into anabatic wind combating you. The only input that you really have is how much. Unless you’re shooting in a vacuum, you’ll have air resistance. Air Resistanceĭepending on the wind speed and direction, your bolt could be slowed down by a moderate 10-20 FPS, or up to 50 FPS if conditions are bad enough.Īir resistance occurs no matter what. There are a lot of contributing factors and independent variables that we’ll go over right now. What Affects How Far a Crossbow Bolt Travels?
