Default RE: What do you prefer? (Draw Cycle)

I like a bow with a good hard wall. Ive owned Bowtechs, and Hoyts, and have litterally shot all of the rest (finally shot a GT500today Jeff) and i can say that i dont really mind any draw. I think alot of that is b/c of what MeanV said, im not overbowed. The only time recently that i noticed a rough draw that truely affected me, was when i was shooting a new xforce gx treestand model at 80#'s. Its one of the bows we have at the shop i shoot for. I really noticed how bad the breakover was with it, b/c it was honestly too much for me. At 53-60 #'s, there isnt a draw cycle that is going to kill me, some may be easier/harder than others, but none too much. That is why i believe you can get used to a draw of any kind once you shoot it for a while.

I was very used to my 101st airborne and i honestly loved the wall and valley of the bow. It seemed perfect. When i switched to the hoyt, i had to make a conscious effort to hold tension on the bow or i would creep. I am used to it now and no longer do it at all!

I can say a draw that i found that was incredible recently was a Diamond IceMan. It was sooooo smooth. Its draw built well, and ended with no valley hardly (in a good way) It was just like it stopped, and that was it. It was one of the best draws ive ever felt.
