    The lighter bow simply allows me to add the weight where I want it, rather than where it is machined into the bow.
    Well put. Thanks.

    Heavy is better for me. I'm a shaky guy - so I need all the "dampening" I can get...

    Even if you do walk alot with your bow to your blind/stand, I have 3 words for you:

    Primos Bow Sling

    I'm not a big fan of "lighter is better".

    I use a 99 Hoyt and back then they were calling it a anchor at 37" and well I like this way.

    I am not saying lighter is better but I shoot an HCA TSSR which is extremely light. It is pretty accurate but not as quiet as I like...and it is not as easy to keep steady as my other bow. But the accuracy is not affected enough for me to care. I still shoot tight groups.
    I would say lighter just makes it easier to maneuver
