Well, folks are out to redefine archery terms again. I won't even bother to say which terms or which people. But you each know whether you are using a long-held definition that is in many of the old books, or are using what you have heard people use, or are just saying what you like to think the word means.
Here's another thing many of you are prognosticating on without reference or deference to the knowledge of those who came before: ALL the early writers on bows, beginning at least as early as Roger Aschem, were insistent that a bow should NEVER be bent backward and that doing so in the hope of repairing set only made the bow less strong and more likely to break.
But we DO like to think we know things and that others have no experience or knowledge that ranks with ours.
