I'm not following that sentence. According to what was written, I would assume that at one time you didn't have penetration problems with your recurve, but then started to have problems. What changed?

I do know that Ashby does lists items in order inhis recent TBM article on what effects penetration. If I remember correctlyarrow integrity (the ability to remain intact) was number one and arrow flight was number two above all else, even above arrow weight and broadhead type.
