Yep, I hear ya on that! I wish the industry would come up with a set "standard of testing" across the board--- for instance CORRECT AMO drawlengths, comparable mass weights, Brace heights, and ATA's--seperating bows tested into a handful of sub-categories based on their comparable differences---- also minimum number of strands of string material. Tests done on the bow would consist of-- Tolerances and quality of craftsmanship, Speed with various arrow weights, Efficiency, SE/PF Ratio, Hysteresis, Draw force curve, how quiet, (decible meter), how much vibration, handshock, recoil, ovarall handling, and fit and finish. ALL bows independently tested at the same facility each year, in exactly the same enviroment, utilizing the same machines and formulas, by the same testers who must not be affiliated to any company in any way. (or greased by them[8D])

Really, how hard would that be to do? Answer--Not very!

BUT, you'd certainly be surprised at the results if this were to ever be done--this I guarantee!

Maybe someday. Good shooting, Pinwheel 12
