I copied Gary's for at MoJam many years ago and it's the only reflex for I have ever used. My D/R form is an adjustable model that I also copied from a MoJam form that was made by Patrick Bumgardner.

a compressive force acting linear on the limb in addition to the compression due to bending?
maybe why such designs are more prone to compression failures?

Tuomo, its autodesk fusion - pretty cool software for 3d design. they even had a FEA analysis addon, not for free version tough...

whereas excessive angle at full draw leads to stacking or an increase in apparent draw force but not stored energy?
