given that we have such different bow shapes and other designs will probably be different yet again, how do you think your going to come up with a standardized design ?
RG,
You are right.
Trying to find a solution, maybe a compulsory sacrifice bow would do the trick.
An (easy to replace) sacrifice bow would be required of at least X mm length. Soft material painted red for novices; any other color / material for all others.
A soft bow could be a problem when beaching, though.
What do you think?
