My whole reasoning on this subject is to hear opinions on bow design. My thinking's are this
1: How often did the old ones make a bow?
2: why do we adopt one set of parameters without weighing the outcomes of other variations?
You see, I will make and shoot a new bow every few days. I'll never wear that bow out. I know it will take game because it is a much harder shooting bow than the one I used to harvest my first whitetail. Thanks to Mr. Clay Hayes on his you tube video for that particular bow. A wonderful design built on safety and longevity. a great perfomer shooting 158 fps avg with a 500 grain arrow drawing 54 lbs @ 28 inches. This stressed out bow in the pic fires an 800 grain bamboo arrow at 150. It's a pretty snappy bow. But I digress. Point is this bow follows my parameters.
My range stays constant 10 yards So I can hit pretty much anything with any arrow with any bow that I've shot thirty times or so. I like short bows as they slip through these ky hills smoothly and silence is necessary when You got to get within thirty feet of a particular location.
