Could this whole concept have something to do with why arrows are spined the way they are? Do weaker ( more limber ) arrows take more time to "relax" than stiffer ones? I agree with Rod and Guy as far...

Holding time variation can make a significant difference in cast with a wooden bow. Something in the order of 10mph difference between extremes. At 100 yards that is more than the difference between...
