Question, if bullet drop was gravity dependent, then why when you shoot an arrow from a tree stand is the drop LESS then from a horizontal surface, parrallel to the earth?  Shouldn't the arrow drop more since you have the rate of fall of the arrow plus the effects of gravity pulling downward?  It's amazing how many folks get this concept twisted around.
