Drawing the Tribute

[pwiles1968]

I noticed last night When I attempt a smooth 'T' draw on the tribute the top end pulls back initially then levels out again (sight kicks up then levels again) is this normal with the Bowtech's? my Cybertec used to do it a little but not this much, is it the geometry of the bow (the grip is fairly low in the riser), I'm not too worried it is steady once drawn I was just curious.

I'm not sure whether or not I am answering the right question here but all bows tend to tilt back in the first inch or so of the draw. Recurves too. With the bow hand being lower than the string hand or release aid, the bow pulls into line at the start of the draw so the throat and nock area are on the draw force line. This causes the nock section to drop onto the line. This is particularly true if the archer initially holds up the bow with the string perpendicular to the ground, (with the sight extension and long rod level). A bow with forward balance may show more of a tilt back as the forward weight tends to cause the bow to tilt front down at the raising of the bow, producing more of a back rotation when drawn slightly.

Thank You and yes that was the correct interpretation of my question, I did have the bow as level as possible before the draw almost aiming at the target prior to draw, and the tilt was during the initial part of the draw, Thinking about the geometry I suspected it was fairly normal I have just never noticed it was much before, so thought I would ask.
