Len--

Sounds like they' re (the mega stores) closing in on you! Put the wagons in a big circle my friend! Shoot till you run out of ammo![&:]

AND---

Boycott those manufacturers who sell to the " marts" and other mega-box-stores. I' m doing it aggressively starting in 2004 myself no matter how irritating and costly, and I know many other true " Pro shops" that are also. Strength in numbers to defeat the " beast" that is trying it' s best to destroy our industry. [X(][:@]

Back to the subject----

Art explained it well as to the best way to initially find the figures you are searching for. Bow efficiency has many variables as stated by Len, and I like he and Norb and Emery Loiselle(whom I know personally also) have my own formula for determination while subjectively focusing on these variables. As Len stated, it can get very lengthy, and unfortunately it is now my busiest season and I don' t really have time and/or really the inclination to get that far into it either to be honest. Good shooting, Pinwheel 12
