Does anyone know if somone has built a wind drift testing device? How do the arrow companies test this?
I am working on a simple free-fall wind drift tester, and don't want to reinvent the wheel any more than I have to.
The device I am proposing is a cord-triggered arrow mount that will hold the arrow at a 45 degree angle, point slanting down. The cord will release the arrow into free-fall toward a soft target 20 feet below. The idea is to measure the divergence between a plumb line and the point's impact. The procedure will simulate a gust of wind.
Ideas or comments?
