No doubt it is what it is but what people are talking about is how long the bow is actually staying at peak weight. If you hand me a 70 lb pow that only hit's peak for 2" of the draw cycle and then you hand me one that stays at peak for 6" of the draw cycle then the bows that stays at peak for 6" is going to feel like more weight because you had to exert more energy to draw the bow. That's why it doesn't feel like 70 incomparison to another bow.
