[QUOTE="jon.henry755, post: 599935, member: 29115"] I knew the thinner air played a big role in arrows flying flatter for a longer distance at higher elevations, but didn't realize internal pressure wasn't the main factor. Your explanation makes logical sense, so I'll have to remember it. I do know that pressure inside the hollow of an arrows shaft changes with the heat of a day an will account for elevation differences on the face of a target, especially during the summer months. In competition we often would need to make adjustments for these temperature variations between 7:00 AM and noon because of the 20 degree shift in temperature. Typically, your arrows are sealed, just not using o-rings. Your seal comes from the glue holding your inserts in the front of a shaft and the glue holding your nocks in the rear. This is a much more prevalent condition with aluminum arrows than with carbon arrows, but it can and does occur with carbon as well. Regards, Jon [/QUOTE]
