Draw weight
 
Why does it feel like my Parker BuckHunter XP set at 52# draw weight is harder to pull back then other bows set at 60# or more?

has it been verified at 52#??

different cam designs and bows will feel differntly when drawing...probably what you are expiriencing.

yes it is at 52#, this is my first bow. I like it but the other bows I looked at last sat. pulled back so nice. Is it because my bow has two cams, and the other bowsonly haveone? I just got it last year, and I dont want to be buying another one allready, is there anything I can do to my bow?

CAM technology has come a long ways. My X-force has very aggressive cams with a steep draw curve to get the speeds they claim. Other designs have a less aggressive curve and makes the bow feel easier. Its still the same weight just different ways to get there.

Not only cam design but draw length, too. Are they all the same "measured" draw length. A longer draw will seem to pull harder because you run out of muscle when you need it most.
