Yo Jon, I'm not saying that you weren't impartial... I'm just saying that you can still be "blindfolded" and know what you're handling. I also know that you likely own a bow. That, alone, makes you biased. It makes anyone biased. Believe me, that's not a personal jab or an indictment of any kind. Just a fair observation. Hear me out...

Only 2 bows tested have giant wooden grips.Gotta either be a Parker or a Matthews. You know that as soon as you touch it.

Only 2 bows tested have identically (uniquely)-shaped sideplates (APA and Bear). One has a long BH, the other is short. One draws like a speed bow, the other is a whole lot smoother. Most guys could tell the difference...

Oops, my arm bumped a rear truss onthe riser? Could it be a Hoyt Tec riser?

Weird shaped sideplates on a thin metal handle? Gotta be the Ross or the Xforce. One is short BH w/aggressive draw - other is long BH w/smooth draw. Also, if youlook atwhere the plates sit, it's a dead giveaway.

Rounded riser, full length sideplates, no shelf above front of grip? Has to be either the Elite or the Guardian. Tough call.

You see my point....

You have to understand that anytime you do a test that claims to be "impartial" - people are going to pick it apart. We both know that. For all I know, you may have gone to extreme lengths to be completely impartial.However,I just have to presume that you did know (because I know that I would've known if I were in your shoes). Hey man, I applaud you for taking your own time to do that. It benefits us all, really.I'm just pointing out that if you wanted to cheat, you could have. And that you left out a few bows that we'd have liked to have seen tested. Hit us up next year around test time. I'm sure you'll have some HNI guys volunteer to help. They might even be able to get you a few other bows to test with the others.
