As some know, when changing to a thicker or thinner tab, it can subtly change your state of tune. To keep a long story short, lets just say that I am currently fiddling with that and went to a thicker tab for a particular bow. In doing so I have made certain informal observations. These observations have made wonder if some general conclusions can be made.
I would like to just set aside for now the whole "formula" thing, where thickness is directly correlated to draw weight.
Without muddying the waters by getting into what I have noticed and why I think I see the differences that do, I just want to ask a couple of simple questions.
All else being equal, (which it never is):
Thicker tab = Arrow behaves as if it is slightly weaker?
Or
Thicker tab = Arrow behaves as if it is slightly stiffer?
Those who have noticed a difference, what have you seen?
Can general conclusions be made?
