    Need to borrow Chronograph in the West Kelowna area

    Hi there

    My daughter (SnowshoeSniper) has chosen a science fair project that requires the use of a chronograph. Her project consists of shooting her bow at different temperatures and measuring arrow speed.

    If anyone can help us out, I have wine and am willing to travel from Summerland to Lake Country.

    Thanks!

    You're more than welcome to mine, but I'm not exactly West Kelowna. Would be willing to meet you in Lake Country Saturday, and you could keep it for as long as you wanted, gratis.

    If someone closer doesn't step up let me know.......

    Sounds like a good project. As a science fair judge, get her to think about variables other than temperature that could influence the arrow speed.

    Thanks 2T. I told her the same thing but, apparently, they've been instructed to only use one variable. I haven't seen the criteria yet myself but would like to before we get too far.
    She initially wanted to do arrow penetration in different materials but it was a tad too complicated for a Grade six student.

    haha I remember doing something like that for a science fair. used a bunch of different materials and measured the penetration, but there wasn't all that much scientific about it. hopefully you can find what your looking for.

    Thanks Blaker!!

    And thanks again for the offer River Otter but it looks like I won't have to travel as far.
