Which bow are you talking about? All of bowtech bows? I shoot the Mighty Mite which is about 3.5 lbs. and feels fine to me. The patriot might me a little on the heavy side at 4.25 lbs. But you act like you have to be Dorian Yates to shoot it. Oh well all I can say is if they are too heavy for you get something lighter, but I wouldn't have anything else.
