I read that the horn bow class has a basic 10% armor penetration. So with a horn bow(10) + penetrating shot(20) + sundering string(10) + judge insgiht(20) u can reach 60% penetration. Is this true, or the sundering string does not stack with the bows penetration(or anything else)?(i have seen shadow bows with sundering string upgrade)

Everything there will stack - but I'm not sure about the hornbow having inherent AP. Although I have heard somebody talking about this before (in a bow guide) I think it might be just a rumor.

I heard they have the 10% and that being the reason they shoot/reaload slower

the horn bow having a armor penetration of 10% is general consensus - though, to my knowledge, this has never been officially confirmed (by Anet).

By integrated he means it works sometimes and poops out on you the others. Theortically; you could achieve the results you mentioned above, but..lets just say since things haven't been confirmed by ANet..we..never really know.

well... i believe the hornbow class does have the 10% AP...

reason being if it didn't... the hornbow class would be by far the worst type of bow

In an interview a few months back, Gaile mentioned that one of the bows did have built in armor pen. She didn't say which one however, just that one had it.

Hornbow has inherent 10% base Armor Penetration.

No you cannot achieve 60% Armor Penetration...the max is 50% and with a Sundering Bow String you have to be pretty darn lucky at the right time (i.e. with Penetrating Attack).

The source I got this from, if I recall is still accurate...here's a link, but it's not to the original source (you'll have to look for that yourself):
