PA Hunter,

Yes, I would have to agree that we are probably just having a linguistic problem more than anythhhing else.

I view forgivingness as the variable of the ability of the arrow to minorly correct itself either coming off the bow or in flight to minor other variables affecting it. There are many variable that will affect this including the bow, brace height, ATA, feathers vs. vanes, type of arrow rest, type of broadhead or field point, spine of the arrow, release, ect., ect.

Yes, I agree that forgivingness does affect accuracy.

But, does accuracy affect forgivingness? So can they really be considered one in the same?

I believe that accuracy, in it's pure essence, with all other variables being exactly the same, depend more on the individual and their skills.

True, if a person does not hit dead center are they considered accurate. I would have to ask other questions before answering (if it was not a tournament of couse). Is the person grouping arrow. If yes then it was another variable that was off, not necessarily accuracy skills. I could keep going, but I think that you understand what I believe.

Thanks for the chat.
