Shoot a z7 at 70 lbs today; however, I am having problems with shoulder and looking at going to a wheel bow to eliminate the harsh let off.
Anyone done the same and have recommendation?

Why not just try a lower poundage bow?Comment

My diamond that i had before my pse was real nice had an agressive single cam but was smooth to pull and shootComment

Not exactly sure what your looking for but I agree with above, get a 60 pounder and drop it to 50 if needed. Ole Uncle Ted is now shooting 45.
You could look at something like a PSE with 65% let off vs. the standard 80% on most bows.Comment

Guys thanks for the impute.
Let me give more data.
I love my z7 it shoots fast, hard and quite. Very good hunting bow.
Problem is my right shoulder is giving me pain and I'm not looking to have surgery if I can help it. Have had cortisone shots that help, but not a fix. Next is surgery.
I think that lowering the pounds and a smoother let off will help before and after surgery if needed.
I hunt with my bow and love the flat shooting energy I get on the z7.
Any wheel bow that will come close I'm interested in.Comment

I know what you are talkin about when you say wheel bow bud. Closest thing you will find these days will be in the Elite line. Unless you wanna shoot that 45" axle to axle Hoyt with wheels.
Look at the Elite Tour.

Axle-Axle 38” +/- .125”
Brace 7 7/8” +/- .125”
String 58 5/8”
Cable 41 15/16”
Centershot 7/8”-13/16”

I switched over from Mathews to Elite several years back due to the shoulder. was able to drop 10 lbs in DW and keep my speed. the draw cycle of the Elite cams is easier to me coupled with the solid back wall and 80% let-off.Comment

NICE, now can you tell the rest of us lowtech folks what a wheel bow is? I have an idea but not sure...Originally posted by Ragin' View PostI know what you are talkin about when you say wheel bow bud. Closest thing you will find these days will be in the Elite line.

Before all compounds had cams there were wheels.
The draw on these were very smooth and easier on the shoulder.Attached FilesComment

That part is not left up to opinion. Like you hear guys say how buttery smooth there Speed bow is? Now some are smoother than others. That's true. But a less aggressive draw force curve is gonna be smoother to pull. It's simple physics. They will also be slower. But much much more comfortable to draw. Generally quieter and hv less hand shock. Thus making the entire sequence of the draw and shot much easier on a person. And it really helps if you have to let down. It doesn't try to rip your shoulder as it comes out of the valley.
Disclaimer; I can only see that Fishindadio posted but I can't see his post cuz he's on my ignore list. If he had explained it my apologies.Comment
