Obviously there are tons of variables.... Open track/closed track/shaft size/band stretch%/ target fish/type of point and more..... but for sake of argument. Is there a simple equation/table/ or rule of thumb for estimating "effective range"? I know that Riffe does provide a listed range for each gun they make. I don't have any experience with using them, so I don't know how accurate the listed range is..... Anyone?
If would be useful to have a table to compare these variables to select a configuration that is just what you want. How will a 2x 5/8" band 50" gun compare to a 3x 9/16" band 50" gun? I am sure some
I suppose I can spend the next 30 years collecting all this data and bring it back to the forum
