Default RE: Say I wanted to get a new bow..and my choices were

Hey, Jeff:

Good to see you back here.

I don't know personally, but if you go over to ArcheryTalk, there was a pretty good discussion on that subject. A target shooter named Marcus from Australia was saying that the Cam.5 would get poor nock travel around full draw when the system was not in synch. He explained why a single cam was better than the Cam.5, mostly talking about the NRG cam. He had no experience with the CPS system, or Merlin's hybrids, apparently. He is shooting an Allegiance, and has extolled the virtues in glowing terms. Seems to be a big fan of the Equalizer system. For me and my limited experience, I shot Frank's OG, and really liked everything about it except for the little hump before letoff. That might have been worse, since his draw is 1.5" longer than mine. Shot feel, quiet, vibe, all were as good as any bow I'v shot. Also, the only Binary bows I've seen with the dreaded cam lean have been the Defenders. The Hoyts do thump a little more, but are very quiet. They peak too late for my taste, but maybe not yours. I also think the Hoyt system is more prone to serving wear on the power cable, not to mention that you would need new string/cables where you could actually shoot the ones that come on the OG. I try to pay attention to this stuff, but personally, I'm happy as a clam with my 40" ATA, 7.5" brace, 311 IBO Tundra!
