  If you need your arrows to land all at the same time so you can fool the enemy into thinking you are many archers fire like this.

  Did nobody else notice that they’re pointing the bow lower than 45° but the line is drawn slightly upwards up compensate?

    If you keep falling short, cheat. Or if you keep falling short, your rich parents will prop you up.

    So inspiring.

    Also, the arrow has some serious gliding effect on its way down.

  In a frictionless vaccuum 45° would be max range.

    Yeah you actually want a bit less then that.

      Unless you use modern artillery. Then you want to aim ever higher because at those ranges/heights it’s beneficial to reach less dense air layers quickly.

  The optimal launch angle would only be 45 in a vacuum. It’ll be lower if you’re on Earth where there’s air resistance.

    Yeah, that’s why try multiple times and aim higher every time until 45°
    Once you reach that, if you are still falling short, you know you have no chance, unless you increase the launch speed.

    Of course, you can try to properly calculate drag for each projectile and set that as the maximum, but it’s fine for a one-off.

    Unless you can achieve a certain amount of force … then you can get a stable orbit around the planet

      Not unless you have something to alter the trajectory in flight.

    CAN WE GET MUCH LIGHTER

  And if you still can’t reach it, ask your god or gods for help,
  as it’s beyond the reach of Mr Newton or even Herr Leibniz.
