		The Glasser CF bows have a particularly comfortable thumb "leather" compared to the other two bows; it seems to be slightly cushioned, an indication that it may wear and need replacement before too long, but since neither of the other bows has a particularly fine or durable "leather", this is, at best, a temporary difference.
		Pressing the bow hair harder into the string can increase the friction and thus the energy transfer and resulting vibrational amplitude within limits, but at some level this can also dampen the vibration and reduce the total energy transferred as well as change the frequencies at which it is transferred, and thus heard.

	The Bow
		The Bow is a common two-handed distance weapon, consisting of three parts: an element of wood, bone and/or metal in crescent shape, a string, connecting its ends and the arrows which are shot by drawing the bow and releasing its energy.
		The basis of the Bow initially was a strong thin branch bend into a cresent shape and tied at each end with a strong and thin material (from now on called "the string").
		The Recurve Bow is carved in from the outside, so the arrow rest is aligned with the center of the Bow so the Bow doesn't have to be canted or tilted when it is shot.
