Selfbowman:
Is there a formula  that determines mass of a wood to energy achieved? I would guess it would depend on design for sure. Also the mass theory might be what I’m thinking. ?????

BowEd:
It could be.All I know is that I try to keep it wide enough inner limbs from fades to avoid set with the rest of the limb narrowed quite a bit.Whatever that weight turns out to be it is.At last with the designs that I like and what I want from a bow.
I seem to come in with bows that are at the lower end of the mass theory even with reflex.

bradsmith2010:
yes make alot of bows,, and you will have the formula,,, ;D

I’ve made close to 300. And the thing Ive noticed is the closer to perfect  diminishing mass I get the faster and smoother they are. Leaving very little extra on the ends. But yes Brad you have a very good point. I think more of a science question that I probably would not understand the answer anyway .

RyanY:
This could be measured in the same way as modulus of elasticity where you get the properties of a piece of wood and know how much energy it can store per mass at a given percent strain.
