Pinwheel, can you explain to me exactly where the extra stress is being applied and what it's doing? I'm not familiar with the term prestress, so I'm not really clear on why it's bad. As you may remember, I have a Legacy now and I've heard you express the problem as a pet peeve of yours. Is it something that affects the user (i.e.- makes the draw cycle rougher, reduced consistancy and therfore accuracy, etc.) or is it something that more directly affects the bow (i.e.- accelerated wear on bow parts, loss of energy that could be transferred to the arrow instead, etc.)?

Thanks!
