Default TRIBUTE SPEED CAM

THE OWNER OF MY PRO SHOP TOLD ME ABOUT A SPEED CAM THAT BOWTECH OFFERS, HE SAID MY 06 TRIBUTE CAME WITH A SMOOTH CAM. HAS ANYONE SHOT BOTH THE SMOOTH AND SPEED CAMS AND HOW DID THEY FEEL. I WOULD LIKE TO PICK UP A COUPLE FPS WITH OUT PULLING MORE WEIGHT, THANKS AHEAD OF TIME.

You would pick up @ 8-9 FPS by switching to the fast module but the draw curve is not as smooth. Try one and see if you like it.

You may not be drawing more, but you'll feel the difference.

I started out with the speed mods and soon switched to the smooth and haven't even considered switching them back since.

The speeds felt TO ME like I was pulling another 3 or 4 pounds than the smooths.

Something fun to play with, and at least we have an option. Try them, you might like em.

The guys pretty much gotcha covrered up above.

I played with both the speed and the smooth mods in both my Allegiance and my Tribute; finally settled on the smooth mods for my Trib and the speed mods for my Ally.

To me, that accentuates what both of them were designed for.

Effectively you can drop the poundage for something like 3D shooting and still maintain about the same speed of the higher poundage with the same arrow. This therefore gives you two bows for the price of a set of modules.
