And if he wants to invite me along for a hunt that would be cool too...what state is he in?
oddly enough - one that allows crossbows
Whew, thank God you agree with me on that one, I was seriously thinking you needed to check into the loony bin
You're not alone had you went that the loony bin opinion !
Draw weight is relative to the deflection (or flexibility) of the limbs. Each different sized cam comes with a matched set of limbs to obtain that particular draw weight. Changing the size of the cam considerably will change draw weight in small amounts. Normally within a 10 pound range. But that varies. The usual change would be within 4 or 5 pounds.
Without limbs that flexed though, you would not have enough energy to propel the arrow. Yes the wheels (cams) do provide more energy than limbs alone, but without limbs you would have nothing. You could not have a bow with two unmoving fixed parts connecting a set of wheels. It just wouldnt work. So this makes your response to that gentlemens question, incorrect to an extent.
well, that use to be true. Compounds nowdays don't have much flex at all in their limbs - they don't. I mean, look at this bo, and tell me how much the limbs really flex
