They shouldn't be threatening anyone because strings don't contract only stretch over time.

I agree. It was plain silly.

LBR, I'm familiar with all those you have mentioned. But another that stands out for me was related to advertising hype. The Alaska Bowhunting Supply's Qarbon Nano. They had to develop that bow because it was necessary to use their special $1000 bow in order to properly shoot their special $150 arrows when equipped with their special $30 a piece broadheads.

Oh and can't forget Harrison and his ability to build bows that can shoot arrows at greater than 100% efficiency.

Lol--I forgot about Harrison--that was a good one.

Reading one on another site that always makes me scratch my head coming from traditional shooters. One says speed is his #1 priority, another says that anyone who says that speed isn't their main agenda is just fooling themselves.

Why, if speed is priority, would you shoot traditional? Makes no sense to me...maybe I'm just "slow" myself.

On a traditional bow, that's impossible. The only way a string can increase draw weight is either by increasing the brace-height (twisting the string), or increasing your draw-length. That's just physics.

Hookeye, want to explain?

I quit listening a long time ago. One of the funniest stories i have is when a kid, at a bow shop was trying to sell me on a hybird, all natural long recurve. The poor guy was clueless. The funny part was, it was one of my bows that i had built for the owner. I built 5 for him. One for him and 4 different ones for him to sale.

I'd probably be a lot better off if I'd ignore this stuff...but it's hard to do. Mainly because its usually a (self proclaimed) "guru" putting out the most trash. If you dare ask a question like "what have you won" or "who have you coached" or "what have you killed" the groupies go on the attack. Kills me that people fall for such.

it is hard to ignore when you see the guru posting his dribble on about every forum that has to do with archery.
not to mention the morons that back him.
