Let me preference this by saying that I am not making any accusations to any magazines or reporters, but I was thinking about a point that Frank raised regarding bow reports in magazines.

In my view, some have some merit, while some are close to worthless. For instance, in one well known magazine with a well known reviewer, the bows are actually put through their paces and conclusions are drawn. Some merit there, I would say. In another well known mag, the information presented in their "reports" is basically the same info anyone can find in the bow manufacturers' literature with some thoughts thrown in, nothing much more than that. Not exactly the type of "report" I am looking for. What do you guys think?

As to these boards and the reports presented here (i.e. Frank's recent experience, JeffB's and many others), I think they are great. They enlighten me to good and bad points of the bows in light of what the reviewers like/dislike in any bow and how that particular bow stood up to his/her criteria. I can read a report like that and really relate it all to my particular tastes. And, then I have the added bonus of being able to subsequently question the reviewer further if need be. Like I said, I think they are great. Keep 'em coming.

Well, I'm rambling. Just some of my thoughts. I am sure you guys have more to add.
