Anyone familiar with their new cam?

Supposedly has level nock travel with any draw length module. Interesting info.

Oops, I edited to fix the link.

Another product with no users out there? Am I going to have to buy one of these too, just to find out how nice it is?

I could be wrong, but I think that is the Darton CPS. I believe Darton owns Proline, but I maybe wrong.

Proline is no longer owned by Darton. This cam is also Trademarked with a different name. It doesn' t look like a CPS cam to me. I think it' s something new.

I have not actually shot one of these bows, but I did draw a few at the Harrisburg show last year. They are smooth drawing, with a good, positive stop. If I am not mistaken, Len posted something about the cam after it first cam out. It is the same cam that was on last year' s Prolines when they were still part of Darton, and on the Darton Storm, I believe. It looks exactly like the same cam, and I had the Proline brochure with the description. It is the same as far as I can tell. If I remeber correctly, Len said the level nock travel was not really quite true. I don' t remember anything else.

This is definitely not the CPS system.

I did own a Darton/Proline Mountain 2000 that had the CPS 2 system. The riser had the nicest grip that I ever shot. The bow was tack-driving accurate. It was not blazing fast, but this Post Feed cam isn' t either. The only reason I sold the bow is the noise and vibration factor. I had Limb Savers, string leeches, NV system on the bow, and even put silicone in and around the limb pockets. It still was not a real quiet bow with lighter arrows.

I know this does not really give you all the information you were looking for, but it didn' t seem like you were getting much at all there for a while.

Joe, thanks for the info.

I imagine that even if nock travel isn' t completing level, that close is better than way off.

I' ll have to find a dealer to see if noise is still a problem.
