I like the round wheel, but most guys think I'm wierd.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

The oval will give you more speed and energy per pound of draw weight, but they are harder to draw. They come up to peak weight quicker and hold peak weight longer before dropping into the valley.

Round wheels shoot slower, but they are easier to draw Because they come up to weight slower and drop off faster, and they are generally quieter shooting than ovals. In my opinion, they are also easier to tune and keep tuned.

Then comes the single cam. It has similar draw characteristis and speed to the oval, but is usually as quiet as the round wheel bow.
