Dead Center Pro Bow Balancer

I'm looking at some products on Dead Center Archery, and I noticed the "Pro Bow Balancer" which is a tool to determine the balance of a bow by clamping on to the grip. My question is this. Would you want your bow to balance on no draw? Doesn't your balance point change under full draw?

New to Stabilizer tuning, so maybe I'm off on this. Dead Center is pretty well recommended per my searches, so I'm sure it works for someone. Just curious how.

I got the same question and the same thought. I draw back and now I pulling back with about 15 pounds of back tension
just to keep the bow at full draw, when I execute I pull back a little bit more to activate my release. How does this back pull effect the balance?

I'm with gjstudt on this one...
 
what I do is take the bow with the site on it only with all the axis set.

I shoot some scores with it like this. I get what I call my base line float, and my base line score.
for me bare bow with my float its a 295 -299 with X count in the low 40's on the 5 spot.
now I add stabilizers and weights to improve on that. If I add all the stuff and cannot improve on my base line,
then do I really need all the stuff??? I find out however it's a never ending thing, older I get, the stuff has to change to hang on to what I had.. I would not say my setup ends up balanced at all, but it is where it has to be to improve on the base line..
