ArrowDNA™ · Gear Intelligence

Know your build.
Know your flight.
Know your impact.

Build one honest performance profile from the arrow you actually shoot. ArrowDNA™ separates what you measured, what BuckVisionAI calculated, and what is still modeled.

Simple by design. Start with what you know. ArrowDNA™ fills the performance picture, then tells you the next measurement that would improve confidence.

Build My ArrowDNA™

Two paths. One engine.

QuickBuild keeps the questions short and builds the arrow from components.

Your bow

Use the setup you actually hunt with. A chronograph reading always outranks a model.

Build name Bow name (optional) Peak draw weightActual setting, not limb sticker maximum. Draw lengthYour actual bow setting. IBO speed ratingManufacturer rating for this bow. Chronograph speed (optional)If measured, this replaces modeled speed.

Your arrow

Only three items are required: shaft GPI, shaft length, and point/broadhead weight. Add the rest if you know them.

Shaft model (optional) Shaft GPI Cut shaft length Point / broadhead

Front hardware totalInsert + outsert + collar combined.

Add optional component weights

Extra front weight Nock Bushing Vane weight each Number of vanes

Wrap

Direct Entry

For hunters who already put the finished arrow on a grain scale.

Finished arrow weight from scaleInclude shaft, point/broadhead, nock and fletching.

Verify what you can

These measurements are optional. Each one replaces an estimate with real evidence from your finished arrow.

Measured finished weightFrom a grain scale. Overrides the component sum. Measured arrow length for FOCMeasure from nock throat using the same length definition consistently. Measured balance pointBalance the finished arrow on an edge and measure from the nock throat to the balance point.

Chronograph speed is entered in the Bow step. If you have one, go back and add it—the measured speed will automatically replace the planning model.

Trajectory & Downrange Performance

Drag-aware flight profile

ArrowDNA™ integrates aerodynamic drag and gravity. This is a still-air equipment baseline — no Property Intelligence™, live wind, weather forecast, or HuntScore™ input is used.

Fast setup. Choose a published scientific drag reference and enter the outside diameter of your shaft. This is a planning model, not a measurement of your hunting arrow.

Shaft outside diameterOutside diameter in inches. Scientific drag referenceNot a claim that your arrow has this exact drag coefficient.

Higher-confidence setup. Measure your arrow's speed again downrange. ArrowDNA™ fits the drag model to your own arrow instead of transferring a literature drag coefficient.

Downrange chronograph distanceMeasured yards from the launch chronograph reference. Downrange chronograph speedMust be below the launch speed used by ArrowDNA™.

Atmosphere & sight geometry

Temperature°F. Used only by the trajectory model. Altitudeft. Used to estimate pressure only when station pressure is blank. Station pressure (optional)inHg. If entered, this outranks the altitude pressure estimate. Zero distance (optional)yd. Requires sight height to show path relative to the line of sight.

Choose a drag setup to calculate the 10–80 yd flight profile.

ArrowDNA™ Sight Tape

Print a 1:1 drag-aware tape

Built from the same accepted trajectory engine — not a second calculator. For a standard flat-ground tape, leave shot slope at 0°. A nonzero slope produces a slope-specific tape and shows the equivalent flat-ground setting.

Peep height above arrowin. Measure vertically from the arrow centerline to the center of the peep at full draw. Peep-to-sight-pin distancein. Measure from peep to the sight pin / scope reference at full draw. Shot slopedegrees. Positive = uphill; negative = downhill.

Printed yardage marks 10 and 80 yd are always included. Choose the intermediate marks you want printed.

Enter peep height and peep-to-sight-pin distance, then generate the tape.

ArrowDNA™ Spine Intelligence

Static spine truth + setup recommendation

Static spine is a deflection measurement under a defined method. ArrowDNA™ keeps the test method with the number and never applies a silent cross-method conversion.

Static-spine methodUse the method that produced the deflection number. Different methods stay separate. Measured deflection (preferred)in. A real deflection measurement outranks catalog data. Catalog deflection (optional)in. Use the published deflection for the shaft if you did not measure it.

Setup recommendation

The recommendation below is a transparent BuckVisionAI screening model. It is a starting range, not a manufacturer chart result or a universal spine law.

Bow speed-rating standard (optional)ATA and IBO are not silently treated as interchangeable. ATA bow rating (optional)fps. If confirmed ATA, it can refine the screening model. IBO/manufacturer ratings are never relabeled as ATA. Release method Chart arrow lengthin. Nock throat to end of shaft; point and insert excluded. Insert / outsert mass for chartgr. Enter insert/outsert mass only; do not include the broadhead or collar here.

Enter your shaft's static-spine deflection. ArrowDNA™ can produce a modeled starting range from your bow and arrow setup; a confirmed ATA rating improves provenance.

ArrowDNA™ Penetration Screening

Comparative index — never a depth promise

ArrowDNA™ uses the Ashby Tissue Penetration Index core for comparison: impact momentum × broadhead mechanical advantage × shaft/ferrule drag factor. FOC, KE, structure and impact conditions stay visible as context instead of receiving invented universal multipliers.

Broadhead geometrySimple geometry can calculate MA. Complex heads need a known MA value. Known broadhead MA (optional)Use a trusted published or measured value if available; this overrides geometry math. Cutting-blade lengthin. Tip to widest cutting point, for simple straight-taper heads. Total cutting widthin. Cutting-blade count Broadhead ferrule diameterin. Shaft outside diameter (optional here)in. If blank, ArrowDNA™ uses the trajectory shaft diameter when available. Impact rangeyd. If the drag model is ready, impact momentum/KE come from that range. Structural-integrity contextContext only; no arbitrary numeric multiplier. Impact angle off squaredegrees. 0° = square/perpendicular impact. Impact scenarioContext only. ArrowDNA™ does not convert tissue type into a guaranteed penetration depth.

Enter broadhead geometry/MA and ferrule/shaft diameters to calculate the comparative screen.

ArrowDNA™ describes equipment physics. It does not guarantee penetration, animal response, shot outcome, or suitability for any specific hunting situation.
