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.
BINGO! One reason some bowyers (like Chek-Mate) don't offer carbon, even as an option. What's the point in a bow that shoots like a bow that's a few lbs. heavier, but draws like a bow that's a few lbs heavier? It's better because it costs a few hundred (or more) bucks extra?
I've asked that question a few times on different sites, but get referred to as pretty much everything but smart and honest when I did--so I just gave up on it.
I know the scales won't lie, but niether do my shoulders.I can't say why one feels stiffer than the other, but I know some do.
