Arrow Ballistics Calculator – Kinetic Energy, Drop, Speed, Momentum

We recommend reading our kinetic energy tests and guide for more information.

The arrow ballistics calculator below will help you determine your arrow’s vertical drop, speed, kinetic energy and momentum at distances up to 70 yards, in 10-yard increments. Please note that real-world ballistics data will vary slightly due to factors such as weather conditions and elevation above sea level.

Basic Settings:
Arrow speed (100 – 1000 FPS)
Arrow weight (100 – 1000 grains)
Additional Arrow Settings (Optional):
Note: You can update the dafault fletching settings and shaft length below for more accurate calculations, as they affect arrow drag and stability. If unsure, don’t worry – their impact is minimal. The values below are based on standard specifications for modern crossbow arrows.
Fletching length (1 – 10 inches)
Fletching height (0.1 – 1 inches)
Shaft length (1 – 50 inches)
