It is a weird thing. The DFC has a part to play, for sure......but even bows that show a gain of 2-3 lbs per inch on a scale can feel different. One thing I've noticed--every bow I've ever drawn that had carbon in the limbs felt heavier, or at least stiffer, to me. Some had it in the core, some on the outside to replace the glass, one I drew was a whole lot worse than any other, another I drew it wasn't very noticeable........but that's been my perception with every one of them. Dad-gumed if I know what does it.

I remembered you saying this the other day after picking up my Adcock ACS. I had not shot it in probably over a year or so. When drawing it back, I was thinking "man this feels stiff".
So I guess I have to agree with you there Chad.
So the question then becomes do you get a bow that costs hundreds extra to get a little more performance with the stiffer drawing carbon and a lighter draw weight, or you get a bow with a few extra pounds that feels about the same drawing weight as the carbon bow that gets the same performance.
