Buckeyebuckhntr--

Excellent post, and the answer is---nothing, you are correct.

The problem that we've seen for years is that many nimrods[8D] still believe they have to pull 70lbs to be able to throw an arrow thru a deer.(I used to pull over 85 back in the old days---nimrod #1!) Fact is the amount of KE needed to penetrate through a 17" chest cavity is relatively minor. I know kids and women who have gotten complete passthroughs with a correctly tuned setup using sharp broadheads at 40lbs. Seeing as most people only hunt Deer and Bear and an occasional Elk in North America, no trouble IMHO, most of this focus is just a new wave of marketing hype.

The EZ draw, Legacy, and other bows with smooth drawing characteristics were thus built to allow those who pull 70lbs but SHOULD be pulling 60lbs, retain their "machismo". These bows do produce lesser vibration, but the technology was heading in that direction anyway and I really don't know how much emphasis we can put on that and be fair about it to other designs which did not have the attributes of this technology.

I personally have no problem pulling nasty cams like the Darton Lightning cam from the 90's, or a Bowtech BK2 twin, or other such "speed" cams, provided the poundage is "comfortable" for the specific draw force curve. The early solocams with their 65% letoff and nasty force draw curves were the worst IMHO--but even they, when the poundage is dropped to a comfortable level, are not all that bothersome to shoot.

ACCURACY if both bows are of the same overall configuration will be the SAME if each bow is tuned correctly.

FORGIVENESS if both bows are of the same configuration will come from the differing nock travel attributes of each eccentric, and has nothing to do with "smoothness" of draw.

I like smooth bows, but I like straight and level nock travel and an overall geometry that offers supreme accuracy and forgiveness MUCH better.

I guess that's why I choose to shoot what I do. JMHO. Pinwheel 12
