And they don't want to drop. You know, if they're used to shooting 65 pounds.
There'S still that pride in.
That they want to continue shoot 65 pounds. So what they don't realize with a lot of adjustments now is you can.
Still pull that.
65 pound bow and max out your let off and you're pulling what feels like five pounds lighter.
Yeah. When you look at the different mod designs that we have, and Elite has always been known for a smooth draw cycle. Absolutely. That applies to our performance mods and our smooth mods. But when you take a look at the smooth mod draw cycle, the strength of an archer, when they start drawing a bow back, they're at their maximum strength. So when most people have a hard time drawing a bow back, they can get it back three quarters of the way and then they feel like they hit a wall. The smooth mod starts to let off from peak weight at that point so that it rolls over easier for those that that might be pushing the limits of the draw weight, they can pull or just want that smoother feel into the valley.
