Default RE: You guys see this blind test @ Bowsite?

Looks like a decent subjective test. A couple things I don't like about the scoring. The categories are all rated as equal in importance, which is never the case. and even if the number eight rated bow was very close to the number one bow in a category, the score would not reflect it, because number eight gets almost no score even though it may be only slightly worse. The overall ending score is very misleading. I really hate speed tests and this one was no better than any of the others I've seen. They're comparing bows with a 7" brace height against bows with an 8" brace and not taking into account the more forgiving brace height, but negatively marking the slower 8" brace height bow - duh!

Another thing, is there anyone here that couldn't identify at least a few of the popular bows by their grips? I would have liked a test where throughout the whole test, no evaluator ever saw a single bow and did not know what brands were even in the test. Whether this was the case here, wasn't made clear.

Entertaining reading, but not very relevant.
