Draw weight?

[2050z]

Which has the greatest affect on draw weight the buss cable or string?

[Hollis F]

I know that the more the buss cable streches, the more the draw weight will go down. I guess it would be the same with the string. Not absolutely sure.

[WoJo]

Their are both the same?? Either one stretches the weight goes down.

Cable usully will have more effect due to string being longer, amd affecting cam position.
Cable stretch = less poundage.(retarding cam(s))
Strings will stretch, advancing cams which will cause some increase in poundage, but string stretch also takes some pre-load out of bow which usually decreases poundage.
Of course, this is just the Reader's Digest version and there are lots more factors to take into account.

I think if I ever have a bow question, I'm just gonna PM Rocky. Seems like this guy knows everything. Thanks for curing all our ignorance, not only on this thread, but many others as well

With your bow it depends on how far back you pull it!!
