Many thanks to Dennis La Varenne for his article on a Velocity Meter based on the original design by by Lieut. Cdr. W. F. Paterson, from his book,
BOWMAN’S HANDBOOK,
Technical Notes and Gadgets for the Practical Archer
It can be found in the Lore & Legend section from the front page, or follow this link:

Thanks heaps Dennis!

I have updated this after Dennis pointed out the maths was confusing the way I'd formatted it.
Apologies to Dennis and any who it confused.

A great idea. VERY clever.
Good on Cdr. Paterson and good on Dennis.
It's ideas like that and the spine tester that Hubris made that are GOLD!

Agreed Mick, and I'll have another article from the man who never sleeps (Dennis
) up on the site in the next hour or so.
Stay Tuned!
