![]() It should also be mentioned that the grain of the arrow affects both the speed of the arrow and the kinetic energy delivered. Kinetic energy normally ranges from about 30 fpke to 125 fpke. Kinetic energy does decrease as your range gets further, so this must be considered. Unlike arrow speed, this measurement shows the amount of energy transferred to your target from your arrow. This is measured in Foot Pounds of Kinetic Energy ( fpke). The second measurement to consider is kinetic energy. Arrow speeds typically range from 200 fps to 400 fps. ![]() This simply shows how fast the arrow is travelling, and it stays fairly consistent no matter what distance from which you fire. One is the arrow speed which is measured in Feet per Second ( fps). There are two separate measurements to consider when looking at the performance speed of a bow. It is a very complicated calculation, so looking at power stroke is just an easier way to compare bows. However, there are always other variables that affect arrow speed. This is most true with recurve crossbows. To oversimplify this measurement, the longer the draw length the faster the arrow speed. It is the equivalent of draw length on a conventional bow. Power stroke on a crossbow is the distance between the resting point of the bowstring and the fully drawn point of the bowstring. This aspect of a crossbow’s design is one of the most important and one of the least understood. ![]() While there is always room for improvement, it has been found recently that this variable barely matters at normal hunting or target distances. Crossbow Widthįor years it was thought that the distance between arm tips on a recurve or between axles on a compound bow would make a huge difference in accuracy. Therefore, let-off does not apply to crossbows. Once the bow is cocked, the draw weight does not matter. However, with a compound bow all of the weight is held by your trigger mechanism. For hunting with a standard bow, this is vital. This is the reduction in draw weight felt as you reach the end of your draw so you can hold the draw longer. One popular topic when discussing standard compound bows is let-off. If you are having difficulty with long range shots, upgrade to more draw weight for a faster arrow speed. Of course, any draw weight is fine for target shooting. The legal requirement for draw weight on a compound bow varies by state, so please look up your local hunting regulations. The one I have works like a pulley system with your foot holding the bow front on the ground and two handles pulling back the drawstring. may be difficult to draw, so there are draw assistance products available to give you a mechanical advantage. For dangerous animals that could charge you such as bears or moose you want a draw weight of about 200 lbs.Īnything more than 150 lbs. For animals ranging from large rabbits up to whitetail deer, you want a draw weight of around 150 lbs. To give you a comparison, a pistol crossbow normally has a draw weight of 50 lbs. ![]() This is the measurement of how much weight is required to draw the bow string back to a cocked position without an assistance device. Pistol Crossbow Understanding Crossbow Specifications Draw Weight I think it is less intimidating for those that have never fired a crossbow before. I can tell you that my friends would rather shoot the pistol than the full sized. They seem to be fine for squirrels and bullfrogs. I have had a bolt bounce off of a rabbit hide at 15 yards. In addition, the bolts are quite light so they are great for target practice but not great for hunting. They can be accurate up to about 30 yards, so they do not have the range of a real crossbow. I bought my pistol crossbow before I got my full sized because it was cheaper, more portable, and a great deal of fun. I actually own one of these as well and absolutely love them. If you simply need more power than your body can pull, then a compound might make sense. You’ll find a recurve more functional for most situations. If you have to change out the string, you will probably have to take a compound to a bow shop. Over long periods of time the trigger mechanism is more likely to fail on a recurve, but the rest of a design is more reliable than a compound. Other than that, the recurve is typically quieter and lighter. As far as differences to the recurve, we already mentioned the weight difference when pulling the string. ![]()

A PvP game at this pace relies heavily on quick disambiguation of what you’re looking at, so you can react and compete, and the new engine makes this impossible without turning all the effects back off… meaning that the two years of development is for a feature best disabled. They’ve compensated for how bad this looks by adding lots of additional flashy effects and explosions, that makes it much harder to see anything amidst the chaos.

What does OW2 ACTUALLY offer then? What did they work on for those two years that was so important that they couldn’t make content for OW1, the product people paid for and were supporting?īefore, Overwatch would play on a relatively low spec computer, and it’d be smooth. They knew they’d canned it 12 months earlier, but they knew that’s what people wanted, so kept putting it front and centre to get people’s money, to get people to buy into the project. It’s even in the announcement trailer for OW2, and on the roadmaps. Blizzard abandoned the PvE campaign a full YEAR before OW2 launched - but continued to push it in marketing as the big new feature. For a lot of us, playing became a chore, something we were doing out of habit, so we’d be ready for the new campaign…īut the new campaign wasn’t the premise that established OW2, it was the pretext. Many of us stuck with the product, playing a little each week just to keep fresh… waiting for the new campaign mode. With no updates, and no content, Overwatch started to get stale… people grew tired and bored, spending less time in the game, or moving on. We were told it was going to be so much work that they wouldn’t be putting out updates for Overwatch any more, they were re-allocating the staff to work on this new project. Hero talent trees, customizable abilities, an expansive co-op campaign that would add to the story and lore. When Blizzard announced Overwatch 2, the big new feature they announced, the entire premise that made it “worth the sequel treatment” was the PvE campaign mode.
