This is the only thread he has used here so what does that tell you?
Perhaps this is the only debate he feels strongly enough to argue....
I haven't a better answer than that...for I know not the reason why he has only chosen this one...but I understand the reasons behind those that put utter faith in formulas...they have to have an explanation that can be repeated...if only on paper to be able to justify their stance.it makes sense to them then too and fits their way of thinking,thus it makes it more difficult to explain it in a different light so that they can understand it....It can be proven this way... only if
everything is exactly the same...and in this case it is not..There are too many different variables involved.Formulas and theories have their place and can help to take a-lot of guess work out of unknowns...they are a starting point..to try to make sense and give logic to some difficult problems...but it is so easy to get caught up in them without using common sense...a case in point..big fat projectiles slow down faster than large slim projectiles of similar weight when launched at similar velocities...it's caused by resistance acting on a larger surface area...either in the air,water,or when going thru an animal.There is a formula for figuring out this common known fact...but is it needed...we've proven it to ourselves as children sticking our hands out of the window of our parents cars or when slicing our hands thru the water when we played in the tub...
As you all here call them...X-bows...they
are treated as a scourge by many...just as compounds were at one time...but that is changing in this fast pace world we live in,and they are becoming accepted,just as compound have.Neither hold the spirit of archery thru cables and pulleys...and never will.This doesn't make them evil,nor does it make them better,because "
better is a subjective word...that holds many different meanings...to each individual...and.. we all have to find which is best for ourselves.
The time for argueing amonst ourselves should end...and we all should work for the betterment of our sport..
