I would not say that is a "standard" test... Some bowyers like to know at what point a bow will break but, it takes a different level of IQ to want to be that close to a breaking bow. Buddy of mine was testing the breaking point of a bow on a tillering tree with a rope and pulley, when that bow broke it chipped a nice size piece of concrete...

Black Widow used to have a video of Bill Bonner doing that with one of their bows years ago.

I think,it's a "publicity" for the Bearpaw bows.

I just went downstairs to test all of my bows this way, anyone need a toothpick?

Test them like this if you're crazy, or if you're making them yourself, so that someone who wants to buy your bow shows just how durable and good

but this cynicism has its role

Ok, so does the bowmaker of the Black Widow Bows. Why do they always give a stupid comment, the man shows that his bow of good quality and emphasizes his bow.
If the video does not say BearPaw, there is no need to connect the man with the company
