Solid Backwall?

[RuttCrazed]

When someone says a bow has or doesn't have a solid backwall, what are they referring to? I was looking for another bow to replace my '93 Browning Midas and found a Buckmaster 2000 for $100 and in the description the guy told me it didn't have a solid backwall, was does that mean? Anyone owned a Buckmaster 2000? Is this a decent price for one (it has a rest, but no sight)?

Thanks,

Rut

Many of the newer bows have draw stops, like bowtechs, hoyts etc are on the cam. Basically what backwall is, when you draw your bow and its fully drawn, your cam rolls over and the draw stop keeps it from rotating any further basically bringing your string/draw to a complete solid stop, in the older bows without draw stops, once you fully drew the string into your anchor point you would still have some creep to it, meaning you could still pull a bit further then your anchor point giving you some creep and not a solid backwall. As for the bow, I don't know anything about it, but make sure you have the proper draw length for you, thats important to good shooting.

If you like the Buckmaster 2000, $100 is a great price, I had one and when I bought a new bow about two months ago, I got $150 trade for it, it was in almost brand new condition, only the string was a little wore.
