Originally posted by Sixby: Preload is the poundage at correct brace for the bow design. It varies greatly with design. Say from a string follow bow to a highly reflex deflex design. the string follow bow generally would have much less preload. It would also be a less effiecient bow. However a lot of guys love the way they shoot so they will sacrifice the speed and effiecieny for the special feel of a string follow bow. And VS versaGod bless you, Steve
