Ths is going to ruffle some feathers but, what's wrong with you guys saying the draw cycle is harsh? This bow is no harsher to draw than the Guardian and certainly not worse than the General. What are you guys a bunch of pansies?[8D]

And, is there anything wrong with shooting a lower draw weight and still ahving blazing speeds? Kinda like having your cake and eating it too is how I see it.
Mike, I tend to agree with you. If the draw is harsh, it seems to me that one is overbowed and should consider a lesser poundage bow. I've never had an issue with "harsh" draw cycles but I used to shoot all the Hoyt speed bows so I'm used to that. The only thing I can think is someone coming from the ease of say a Mathews but if one understands the eccentrics understands why their speeds cannot compare. There is a slight trade off when it comes to this.

With these "harsh" draw cycles, one could lower the poundage and still get impressive speeds over a "smooth" draw cycle, like you said, win win.
