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

Good idea for a thread Jeff (the both of u's) .

Hmm, after shooting most of the single cams on the market for most of the years that they were "hot" I would say that I preferred that type of draw cycle. That is the total opposite of what both Jeffs are saying if I am not mistaken. I enjoyed the slow ramp up to peak weight at the back end of the draw cycle and then the drop off into the 75-80% letoff valley and rock solid backwall(most of the models I owned at the time).

In truth, when the Binary cams were first introduced I did not like the feel of the draw cycle because it ramped up so quickly to peak weight. The transition into the valley and backwall wasn't bad but that initially jump really bothered me. But, I shot them for a few years and became somewhat accustomed to it. It wasn't until the General came out though that I can really say I liked the feel of the draw cycle. I used the smooth mods with that bow and never the speed mods so I cannot comment on the how it felt with those in particular. The Black Ice's single cam was probably one of the smoothest I have ever shot in terms of both how it went up to peak weight and also the transition in the valley.

Right now I really like the Ross Carnivore 31's draw cycle. That little "Crank" device makes it feel very smooth in all stages of the draw cycle and I truly love not only shooting it but drawing it as well.
