Mass doesnt matter in this caseUH? I don't understand this part. I can't throw a bowling ball as far as I can throw a baseball.So, what am I missing here? Signed, Confused in Texas

Mass doesnt matter in this caseSo, is the assumption that the 1,000 gr arrow is being shot out of a heavier draw weight bow, than the 500 gr arrow?Or, are both arrows being shot out of the same bow?
