Retard the paradox or interfere with it? Probably one and the same. [&:] Either way, it's definitely affecting the arrow's ability to paradox and I don't think that's a good thing.

The more I think about it, I've come to realize that when you're only holding 10-15 pounds at full draw, you canrelease the string from a hold that's just barely hangingon your fingertips. That would reduce paradox quite a bit too. But enough about wheelbows. Just chalk it up asanother way they differ from recurves.
