Default RE: what is the benefit??

Pinwheel, I wouldn't say I was a brute. At 6'6" and 300+ pounds, I ARE a brute. Even though, back then I looked more like an NFL tight end instead of an interior lineman.

You know, I pulled out some of Mullaney's bow reports and looked at force draw curves on several bows. In each case, with each drop in draw weight, the front and back slopes of the curve are shallower and the peaks are rounder. So, in effect, lowering the draw weight had the effect of softening the cam. Perhaps I need to retract some of my earlier comments.

This could be another example of how my draw length gives me experiences that people with 'normal' draw lengths do not have to contend with.
