Default RE: what is the benefit??

Other than being longer lasting, less expensive in time and money for maintenance and upkeep, more accurate, quieter, more forgiving and more pleasant to shoot, there's not much advantage to soft cam bows

I see, well ok. I am not sure I am following you on all of these.

What makes a softer cam bow less expensive in time and money maintenance and upkeep? What extra money do you put in an aggressive cam for upkeep than you would a soft cam? How is it also longer lasting?

More accurate. If both the aggressive cam and a soft cam were both set on a 30 inch draw with a 7 inch brace height that would give them both a 23 inch power stroke. How would that make the soft cam more accurate than the aggressive cam?

More pleasnt to shoot. A 70 pounder that feels like 60-62 compaired to a 60 pound bow there really shouldn't be that much a difference between the two would there? Other than maybe a hard spot in the draw curve in the aggressive cam??? I do see you point a little here though, but not interly
