yeah, that explains the stronger part... but i was also thinking about the reaction time(i know it's only split second)it takes to straighten itself back out when the arrow is released between purpose bent vs natural bent.

i was thinking that the full bent version must have some "memory" left in it from it's prebent life that it would let it stretch toward... where the naturally bent would want to resist going past it's natural curve upon release and dampening any overtravel past it's natural resting point. i know it'd be imperceptable to the bowman so i guess it's more of a physics question.
