They all explain basicall the same thing I've been trying to explain here. I'll give up on you though bc, I don't think you have the kind of attitude that will allow you to learn anything.Take some time and learn and spend less time telling others they don't understand. I'll bet thepublishers ofthe information I've presented here would love to be enlightened by you. I believe one of the sights has email so give it a shot and let us all know how you made out. LOL, they deserve a good laugh!
Sure, I have learned tons by many very smart people on this forum from LBR, to TFOX, to Greg/MO, Matt/PA, but I doubt anybody has learned anything from you. Do you actually have the attitude that will allow you to learn anything? Do you have many examples of you taking some time to learn and spending less time telling others they don't understand? Or are you all knowing? Definatly put the smug back in the NY tude.
To be honest with you, I have wrote many peer reviewed papers, but none of them have I done research on bow efficiency. Mine are generally physics of light. Until I actually sat down and did the math, and research, I wouldn't dare call someone on thier work, or call them to give them a laugh. But thats them, not you. I just think its rather lame that you actually attempted to steal someone else's work with a copy and paste.
They could be right, but off the cuff, I know from my chrono's of longbows/recurves of various wieght arrows, I have alot of wasted efficiency with fast arrows. This could be my mass of my limbs. Friction of arrow with my limibs, or even friction of the arrow contact with its rest due to heavier weight. Thats off the cuff, I sure wouldn't want to put equations on here and act like this is my work.
