A Volkswagen arrow will be a grand disappointment at 100m. Parked next to the Volkswagen arrows are Mercedes shafts. But right now the Mercedes sticks are sent to the junk pile because what is being looked for is Volkswagen.
Jack loves Mercedes. Jack wants to buy a Mercedes (paid the price as a Mercedes), but the car dealer, Volkswagen ...
It is clear that no test persuade him to love Volkswagen.
The ability to shoot at 80 and 100 m is given more training options. Most archers not able to shoot at greater distances than 30 m.
A good archer will shoot a good arrow bamboo 80-100 meters - there is little possibility of intervention. This may confirm the archers of Romania. Shooting at 20 and 25m. The Naadam competition 2010 (Czech Republic) had a problem just shoot long distance event. They are good archers, but without the possibility of training for long distances.
This does not affect the bamboo.

I never mentioned science or physics, I said fixated with rules, not science.
The properties of the wood of two (so called) identical arrows was precisely my point. They are a natural material and will not be identical, so applying a rule will not change the outcome.
Yes, I agree. This corresponds to my findings. Natural materials are not homogeneous. Formulas and calculations are good, but useless. I repeat - it is good to make 20 to 30 arrows and select the same set of 12 pieces (good shooter).
