So far as I see things, everything we do with these wood bows is done in small measures with the goal of making small gains. Too much of almost any good thing brings with it diminishing returns. Too much reflex, too much deflex, too narrow, too wide, too short, too long. The list goes on. I see lite tips that way. They look more refined and can add a bump in performance. But some of my favorite bows have heavier tips than others. I can’t tell much difference personally. To a point.
