Ya know Rick, I thought the same thing about my Allegiancewhen I first started shooting it. Way too heavy of a draw cycle. Then, this past archery season changed my mind about that.I killed a big 9 pointer with the bow and never realized i pulled it back. It came back so nice and easy for me that it was almost ridiculous. I also shot a doe toward the end of the season that felt the same way. I personally have grown to really like this draw cycle. No surprises.
