It should be obvious that the above calculations for the trajectory of an arrow do not take into account deceleration, drag, viscosity of the air, etc., but they’re a start.

(( Oooh, the most elaborate arrow yet! ))
It’s so -sweet- how you still look for me in the stars… Don’t think I haven’t noticed. They get “Aulendil’s Apprentices” in the Void; I never miss a show.
Cut from the same cloth, and yet so much more ambitious than I… How does a brother of mine sleep at night? Knowing he fled from Angband when his master was in peril. I sense that ambition will be your undoing, while lack of it may be mine…
Some day, that one will seek my throne. But until that day, he is mine.
Should I seek to outdo him, or rather try to become indispensable in another arena? Will Melkor ever have cause to choose between us? Why couldn’t you have stayed with Aulë, brother?
Ah! How beautiful you are! A king amongst orcs! Truly, I wrought best when I wrought you…
I gave you my armory, my wargs, my war machines. You had the best of our military devices. You had werewyrms, and beasts of war. You had superior numbers, you had surprise.
It is well that Durin’s heir killed you, Azog. What I would have brought upon your head for this failure defies imagining.
