Bob I usually agree with 99% of what you say but no way will I agree its easier to pull a Traditional bow back verse a compound in cold weather!
That OK.
IMO, the draw cycle starts on most of the modern compound bowsvery near peak weight. While the traditional starts very light. That initial pull on the compound until the cams flip is the though part IMO since itstarts near and proceeds near or atpeak instead building up and finishing at peak. The traditional bow hasmore of a shotrythm. IMO pulling back a compound (before the cams flip) is a bit tougher then pulling back a trad bow. But, keep in mind that different muscles seem to be used between the two.
Holding the bow back atanchor in a whole different thing IMO.
