Len I am in Ontario, and look forward to being down your way some day.

From what I understand of parts of your explanation of level nock travel, one of those Japanese bows with essentialy radicaly dissimmilar limb lengths would be guilty of unlevel nock travel. If so, that kind of gets to the point that the issue is a non-issue, at times. Of course with compounds we aren't in Kansas any more, so I don't know what happens there.

Len in addition to your extensive testing of nock travel as to where it is present, and by how much, have you been able to track any corelation to performance, and to what degree? So for instance on spine, is material.

One thing I hadn't thought about in years was that the early Mathews ads used to make a big deal about where they located the handle. I can't remember the point, but as a guess I would say they put the arrow at the middle, and the grip low, contrary to the then comon practice. Do you recall Len? Is this placement of the handle, which I would guess is comon on short bows today (and certainly not a "novel treatment as the IP lawyers say), also part of the nock travel issue?
