Shredd, what's you think?

I am still trying to understand why the front of the bow is called the back...

It's kind of embarrassing and I think it takes away from the nobility of a bow when you are explaining to an non-archer that this is called Reflex/Deflex bow and they look at you sideways and say, "Say What??"

LOL

And the sight window has no glass?

And a bow has a riser?

OMG....

THen ya got your nocks for the string, the nock set on the string, and then nocks on the arrows. Total lack of originality in naming all these. I think whoever named all these the same got nocked on the head.
...stood alone on a montaintop, starin out at a great divide, I could go east, I could go West, it was all up to me to decide, just then I saw a young hawk flyin and my soul began to rise......

Don't forget the "I" beam and string silencers.

And the bow quiver..

I thought ya put arrows in the quiver?

Crooked Stic

And ya got your overthinkers-------- :deadhorse:

the one that gets me is "paradox"
the way the shaft shot around the riser was counter intuitive or a contradiction to common sense, but now with high speed cameras etc, we have a better understanding of the mechanics, but no one is going to change the terminology :deadhorse:
