DEFINING BOW PERFORMANCE;
"And you must not stick for a groat or twelvepence more than another man would give, if it be a good bow.
For a good bow twice paid for, is better than an ill bow once broken. [Ascham]

The article is good and an easy read. However, the reader should make an effort differentiate between between opinion and fact.

Interesting article. Lot's of good stuff, but plenty of advertorial and some stuff not really addressed, too.
The other part of this is of course is that trying to wring every last bit of performance from a bow isn't necessarily why some of us love it; there's a thrill for some of us in carefully selecting a tree or board and using our own hands and wits to craft a bow, then using it to flick an arrow into something.
