Flunked physics? - That’s 1/3.
Knowledge is better than blind fear.

Some would disagree with you. Shocking I know.... https://outdoorzer.com/how-far-can-a-rattlesnake-strike/ How Far Can A Rattlesnake Strike? North Carolina State University says a rattlesnake can strike half its length. That is for an accurate well placed strike. When it is a defensive strike, they do have the ability to strike two-thirds of their body length.
