Boy I hope that the draw of the Dually is not worse than the supertech. I shot the supertech at 70lbs and it felt like 100lbs. The spiral cam/cam 1/2 or not the supertech was really not a good experience. I would say though that the razortech is a real nice bow.

KIDD (Frank),
I haven’t shot the Spiral/SuperTec in several weeks, but what I remember is that like many onecams the bow peaked very late in the draw cycle..thus making it harder and harder to pull throughout the draw force curve until BAMM it lets off right at the end. THAT kind of draw cycle bugs me to no end.
The new DC’s from BT do somewhat the opposite, they peak very early and the draw cycle and then maintain that throughout the draw, so only the initial going is tough.
In either case they are hard cams to pull, but the DC cams are better ergonomically for the way the human muscle structure works (it’s easier to get that weight moving at the start where we are strongest, as opposed to having to work harder the farther we draw).
After I actually got my Winn release (which by it’s design reduced felt draw weight compared to wrist strap releases) on and starting shooting, I’ve never given it a second thought, and still don’t …I don’t find it as hard to draw as my 70 Pound Mighty Mite was…But I admit, because I’m a pretty big boy, these things rarely bother me (except in the case of aforementioned draw cycles that don’t peak until late in the draw cycle).
My .02 coppers anyway
