Maybe im the only one, but draw cycle dosent really matter to me. All i care about is having a solid wall with no signs of wanting to creep. Call me crazy, but thats how i feel.
I Agree!! The Draw is something you soon become used to. I mean a 70# bow is 70# and a 60# bow is 60# sure you may get it earlier and pull it longer with some bows, but it's still whatever the scale says.

I get a kick out of some of the comments about draw cycles. A lot of people are over bowed. They are used to just grazing peak weight in the draw cycle and when they actually have to pull that weight for a few more inches, it's like UGH!![8D]

A lot of Wussies!

Not very often I disagree with you Dan, but HERE, I have to. Granted, some of what is built into that draw cycle is what you're going to get out of it also, but some bows do have harsher draw cycles in comparison with others, even though their "PEAK" weights are the same.

For me personally I like a SOLID wall, and a nice little valley at the end. Neither of my main 2 bows have GREAT either, but they are paid for, and both shoot fairly well, so I'll deal with it, but I believe the nicest feeling draw on a bow I've shot would have to go to the Alphamax35 that I shot back around Thanksgiving. The draw just had everything I personally like, very smooth, with a nice little valley, and a SOLID as a rock wall. Granted, you're not gonna get and super speeds out of one, but I think it would be a lot nicer to draw on a cold chilly morning than about anything I've ever shot in equal "peak" weights.
