Draw Strength = Load Time
Suitedness = Damage Modifier
Balance = To-Hit/Agility Modifier

Lower Draw strength improves balance and reduces round time, but decreases suitedness
Higher Draw strength reduces balance and increases round time, with an increase in suitedness

>> I'm wondering in what situation one would make use of high suitedness but low draw strength or vice versa?

I haven't tested every template yet, but templates are set up so that high suited bows have high draw strengths while high balanced bows have low draw strength. I don't think you will be able to make a bow that is heavy suited with extra low draw strength, but there is middle ground.

Gotcha, thanks.

Do Hunters Bows have a stealth bonus? Basically, the new bow I had made has a point better balance and the same draw strength/suitedness as my old Hunters bow, and I'm wondering if it's better than the Hunters bow.

Good to know about the stealth bonus.

I had a capped ebony hunters longbow, and a friend just made a maple foresters longbow. The foresters longbow has a point better on balance and identical suitedness and draw strength. So, that's a nice improvement if the stealth bonus from the hunters is marginal.
