Let me get this straight, Bob. If somebody's shooting a smoking fast bow.....and his numbers are staggering (arrow speed/KE/etc...)......but his bow is technically not as efficient as a person shooting 100fps slower.....and shooting 50fp's of KE less.....
The guy shooting the second bow can claim (and rightfully so.....don't get me wrong).....that his bow is superior.....because it's "more efficient"?
The differenceis thatthe excess energy that is not transfered to the arrow still has to be dispensed. Could be in the form of vibration, niose, hand shock, etc.
When we're talking about the modern companies producing compound bows......is this that big of a concern?
I've only been shooting a bow for a little over two years. I hope this is a fair question.
