It's a touchy subject then? Loosing techniques and so forth?
Lucasade:
Have a read back through old posts here over the last few years and you'll see just how touchy it can get...
mikekeswick:
The point I was making is that if you hold a bow at full draw it loses weight. Less weight = less efficient bow = less distance. Simple.
No room for 'heated' discussions with that one it's just plain common sense and can easily be confirmed by anybody with a scale.
WillS:
All well and good until you realise that the bow isn't held at full draw during the rolling loose ;)
The arrow is coming back right up until you let go. Watch the first video of two that I posted earlier (Joe setting the 1/4lb record) and you'll see the arrow head moving back right up to the moment it goes.
Your point is non-debatable though - hold a bow at full draw and it slowly loses weight. No argument there. :)
