Counter productive to fuss over what admin at other sites do.

I don't think bows delaminate because of the type of string material, if I understand your meaning. When I think of delam, I think of the glass separating from the inner (wood) layers, more the inner wood layers tearing apart themselves. The former usually because of glue or fit failure, the latter frequently because of too much strain (or stress, I get them mixed up), usually in shear forces (where the lams move or attempt to move parallel to one another).

A bow don't know what kinda material the string is made of, strings don't break bows. Linen is both less mass and less stretch than Dacron, less than the new FF+ material I think. It's been used for millenia, and much preferred for these reasons. But a bow knows if the string has less stretch than it can handle, or (in combination w/ the arrow) less mass than it can handle.

Chad you can spend a decade, as you have and more, investigating this question with run of the mill folks on the internet, and you'll learn a whole lot more about the nature of men than the nature of bows and string material. Sorry to say this, but the "simple stick and string" is a misconception. Fact is, at least in terms of the down and dirty math, bow-n-arrow is a damned complex thing to model. Consequently, not much info is available mass market. The fllight shooter boys, over at paleo mostly, have got some computer models (spreadsheets) that do a fair job. String mass and elasticity can be "plugged in" to get an idea of how it influences the rest of the system, in terms of strain, performance, etc. But I'll warn you (having read older stuff from Kooi via Tapley) the math side will break your brain.

Other than for entertainment provided by interacting with others, little can be gained/learned from laymen. Sorry to sound such as arse. I'm not really. Hell I AM a layman, in these terms. But I am speaking from direct, personal experience, having done my decade too.
