People have been saying that having a back wall to your bow is like having a draw check and delivers consistant arrow speed.
Id like to put forward a couple of bits of thinking for people to mull over.
Point 1
Firstly. if a bow climbs by a silly 7lbs in that last inch, than means a 1/4" variation in draw length would mean the draw weight could vary by 1.75lbs
if on the other hand the bow pulls 2lbs in that last inch, then well... thats only 0.5lbs gained
which one is going to deliver more consistant arrow speed.
second thought is:
if you have one bow that grows in poundage by 2.2lbs then 2.3lbs then 2.4lbs
and a second bow that changes at 1.4lbs 1.6lbs and 1.9lbs.
which one are you going to notice a change in inch by inch of draw more on?
third thought.
if the average bow grows in each inch 3lbs. then +0.1lbs on that will be stacky. and -0.1lbs on that will feel smooth.
Check out the differences in W&W limbs vs Samick limbs VS Hoyt limbs (really not much. but people can feel the difference)
Then you have a second round of bows that runs at 2lbs in that last inch. then you end up with the 0.1lbs more bows and the -0.1lbs bows that will feel stacky or smooth, in comparison to each other.
Then you can have the bows that repeat this but at 1lbs per inch +/-0.1lbs per inch.
So stack is only relivant to what your used to.
So why make a big deal over a bow being "too smooth"
What is too smooth?
