Dave. that quote from wiki about arrows depend on gaining lift in flight. I cannot accept that as good info. Their is no lift and if their was, a crossbow arrow has the same design as a crossbow arrow only that the length is shorter. The only reason a shorter arrow will bleed speed off speed faster than a longer arrow is because of bc. And that is meaningless in archery.........that is my opinion and I'm sticking to it. At 30 yards how much speed do you think is lost because an arrow is 10 inches shorter than another? Answer = insignificant unless one thinks that losing a few fps is a huge concern.
