I'm not sure which diagram you're looking at, but the first one is simply a bell curve to illustrate that a little weak or stiff might be adequate, but too weak or stiff will cause problems; the intersecting lines along the curve could equally have been simply dots, or the line could have been colour-coded somehow. It doesn't show what kicks which way when spine is askew. This diagram could definitely be clearer, as at first glance it is confusing. Perhaps it didn't even need to be a diagram. But O.L. Adcock is a good bloke who has put in a huge effort to study the fine-tuning of traditional bowhunting equipment, and has helped heaps of folks get their gear sorted-out. I don't necessarily subsribe to all his findings (for example, I'm keen to use standard-thickness strings rather than the skinny ones), but he is indeed a thoughtful fellow who constantly seeks to find why things are so, or if they are so.
It's the great, big, broad land 'way up yonder,
It's the forests where silence has lease;
It's the beauty that thrills me with wonder,
It's the stillness that fills me with peace.
That site has always confused me . It seems back to front !
