Thread: Light draw vs heavy draw

Horse is slick. Latigo (bovine) heavier. When I was starting out I had both, and the heavier draw was uncomfortable for me because I felt like the razor was going to come out of my hand. I stuck with the horse and the light draw.

Years down the road I went back and tried the Latigo. The draw didn't feel as heavy as it did when I was starting out. I attribute that to my improvement in stropping technique over the years. The SRD Premium 1 that I bought when they first came out had the perfect compromise of draw for me right out of the box. Not too slick, nor too heavy, but with strops, like just about everything else in this hobby, YMMV.
