This archery stuff sure seems to attract some simple minded individuals.

The thinly veiled insults and name calling is supporting my suspicions.
Trust me when I tell you this, you DON'T wanna go there, son.

JW, I think your quote format got a little mixed up.
Hanibal, you can question what, why, and how these guys do what they do; they are very generous with information, but if you want to be an upstanding member of this community do not tell them they are wrong unless you can give some evidence for why you are right. Look up this guy's posts and see what to say clear of.

This is the thread where he really fluffed feathers. You can disagree, but you have to be respectful. People here are proud of their work.

To the point of your inquiry, I don’t recall or have never read anything regarding tack secured horn plates. My experience in horn bows is, however, limited. I would be interested in seeing examples of this, perhaps you can post those?
Seeing as how you are new to the forum with few posts and are diving down an esoteric rabbit hole it doesn’t seem simple minded to question your intentions or perspective, at all. It seems, instead, properly justified.
You write “This archery stuff...”. That does come across as though you have very limited personal experience. But, perhaps I am wrong. If so, please, post some of your work so the community can gain insight into your background and intention.
You are proposing that someone ought to pursue a tack driven project. You thereby ask for someone else’s time and effort. With sincerity, do you have intentions to work at answering this question for yourself? If so, I am confident that the forum will do its level best to support your efforts to illustrate a more refined and intelligent approach to the craft.
Sincerely,
Stephen Parnell
What a beautifully written post, I may not be able to write as eloquently as above but I certainly appreciate it :)
A lot of these 'controversial' posts are written by bots....not a real person in sight. The way the posts are written usually gives them away....

I don't think bots are an issue here because each member is hand screened, and PA is an obscure language anyway.
