| let off and valley
Hi Zanda,
Valley is the way the bow feels light at and around full draw. Some bows have a wide valley which means the light section of the draw lasts for quite a long distance before it starts to feel heavy again. Some bows have a short valley, suddenly the weight seems to let off and then goes light. At the same time the light section is often short so a little extra pull will make the wieght go up quickly. Long wide valleys tend to come with round wheels and the more sudden short valleys come with agressive or hard cams. If try try both it is very easy to feel the difference. There is a lot of debate as to which is better. |
