Default RE: Does It REALLY Matter????

ORIGINAL: GregH

I think that draw force curves matter. They tell the story of the draw cycle. For hunting, I want smooth draw charicteristics for when I have to draw slow and steady. With the big let-off bows they have today, I'm afraid of jumping the arrow off my rest. That is not smooth. I'm a data nut and have plotted draw force curves for all of my bows. I'd like to see all bows come with a card showing their draw curve. It would save you some time while shopping. You could see everything before you ever drew it back. But since they don't come with one, you have to go out and test draw all the bows. Then you pick the one that felt the best to you. Shoot them too.
I have never picked up a bow that I couldn't draw smooth and slow no matter how the draw curve was. To me it's a non factor. This is my point, how in the world could it matter? If the draw curve makes that big a difference, then I suspect the person drawing is WAY overbowed!

I didn't mean you in particular GregH, just in general. Do you not agree?
