Title: Weight debate....opinions please.
Post by: ishiwannabe on June 16, 2009, 10:27:00 PM
Having acquired a new bow that is lighter than the one I traded off, I find myself having form issues that werent there when I was shooting the heavier bow.
My anchor point seems to fade away with the lighter bow, and I find myself getting a bit sloppy.
With the heavier bow, I could draw it to anchor, but I had to think about it. To me, it seemed like it "tightened" my form up, just by the sheer weight. I hit slightly better with it too...

Now, Im fairly new to trad, but Im almost thinking I shoot heavier better than I do lighter. Make sense? Nope.

I saw another thread that sort of related and figured I would throw this out there and see what happens.

To be clear, Im not bashing lighter weights, or heavier ones. Just wondering if anyone else has had similar experiences. I think we all hunt with what is right for us...just looking for some input.
