Not what i have experienced at all. Especially compared to my 101st, or general. Not saying you arent feeling it, but i think the thing is smooth like butter compared to most of the bows ive shot. the way i can tell the best, is when letting down. My 101st felt like it would take your arm off if you let it down, while the AM goes down way easier.

Regardless, i always seem to adjust to the draws, regardless of how smooth or harsh so it really doesnt matter to me after im used to the bow.

Not bashing you here at all, just stating my experience just like you are.
