Guys-

The intent of the post was to simply find out who has what for actual hands-on Archery experience. I'm not pointing fingers to anyone in particular either, the question was generalized so don't read to much into it please.

Pertinent Technical questions do arise here on a daily basis. Sometimes things have more than one correct answer, and then we see debates on which is better/works better. This is totally subjective material and how the messageboard system was designed to run. Many times we get varying opinions on which bow, which sight, which rest, etc. as those preferences are individual.

There are also many times when the "Technical" questions are just that however and very specific, and many times on this board and others I have seen incorrect info given simply due to product loyalty/ subjective opinion as in the above scenario. (for example-- solocams are faster than twin cams if of the same configuration---untrue. Drop-aways are more accurate than any other rest---untrue. Etc, etc) Here is where I see flaws in the system and incorrect info being thrown around--- true technical experience from within the industry as well as utilizing/quoting reports of verified Static and Dynamic testing from those such as Norb and Emery have their place here and should be used IMHO. Physics and engineering is a constant that can also always be used as a reference guide when it comes to technical attributes of most bows. This serves to put things in correct order and beats the snot out of "Bubba and his Bow Buddies' Tech report" where a few individuals may get together and close their eyes and fire bows to see which is louder, faster or quieter, even tho those bows could be far different from each other in terms of ATA, brace height, drawlength, and dampening accesssories used. True technical data with apples to apples comparasons does not lie and does not give "opinions"-- nor is it biased. This tells the truth every time.

So after all of this long-winded post, I go right back to square one--- the intent was that I was just curious to see who has what for Archery experience, that's all. And as stated, this is not meant to keep anyone at all away from posting, tho possibly a friendly reminder to all to be as sure as you can be that the answers you give those asking for help are the correct answers--- or at least tell them it is "JMHO" so they don't take it for gospel. Good shooting, Pinwheel 12
