Default RE: Ashby and Adcock

I enjoy reading most of their stuff (although I don't always agree), but this looks to me like figuring out a new kind of sledgehammer to drive a thumbtack. Personally, I'd like to seea dependable chart on howto come up with heavy (I mean real heavy--800-1,000 grains or so) for heavy bows. We know that is a big plus for reallybig game, and a big pain to figure out on your own.

I guess it would be fun if you had the time and money for it, but we're the tiny minority in the hunting world, and those of us who will ever have a chance to hunt really big game is only a fraction of that minority.

Don't get me wrong here--not too long ago I spent an hour or two on the phone with Dr. Ashby, and the pleasure was all mine. I've also had an interesting discussion or three with O.L. via e-mail (he didn't seem like much of a talker in person).

I guess what I'm getting at here is it seems like there would be something more pressing for all that brain power to be working on--like maybe a new string material?[8D]
