Thx

I have always shot the speed mods on my Allegiance. The draw cycle does not change significantly. When the weather turns cold and I am spending more time on stand than at the range, I will turn the weight down as appropriate to allow drawing with cold, stiff arms and heavy clothing.

I have the speed mods on my General. I have a short 26.5" draw, so wanted all the speed I could get. There is a small hump to get over just before full draw. But its nothing major in my book. I shot a single cam bow with no hump before this.In fact I've been able to increase the lb's on the General to 67, and draw it w/same effort as my old 60lb bow. So I'm not complaining there. If its a real concern for youon having areal smooth draw I'd run to a Pro Shop, and see if can try one with both cams.

The only noticeable difference I felt when going from smooth to speed was a bump at the end, right before the valley.

Thx for the replies I think I'm going with the speed mods and if I don't like them I will switch to the smooth mods! What kinda speed you getting out of your generals?
